[Burgos] A less dangerous rural area in Spain

A four-hour bus ride from Madrid. Burgos was truly amazing. The Santa Maria Arch stands out against the Spanish sunshine and blue sky, and the third-largest cathedral in Spain features a beautiful stained-glass cloister. The cathedral is a must-see! Be sure to go inside. Each chapel and painting is worth a visit! In Madrid, I was on guard against pickpockets and purse snatchers from the airport, but here I was able to enjoy a leisurely stroll. I saw the statue of El Cid, ate a delicious Spanish omelette sandwich, and enjoyed a pleasant walk along the riverside lined with horse chestnut trees. I felt like half a day wasn't enough. Apparently, the city has flooded in the past, and there were lines marking the extent of the flooding, which was very educational. I think most shops speak English, but the people in the city were very kind and patient with my poor Spanish. #0YenTravel2025Autumn #SpainTourism #Burgos
