Comment

The city of Burgos, former capital of the kingdom of Castile, a crossroads and an obligatory passage for millions of pilgrims to Santiago, has a rich artistic heritage that centuries have been leaving in it. One example of this is the Cathedral, jewel of Gothic art, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984. The remains of El Cid and his wife Jimena lie inside. The memory of the hero of Burgos, nowadays a universal literary myth, is also remembered in the equestrian statue that rises in the Plaza del Cid.
