To Spaniards, Burgos is revered as the home of El Cid, a military commander who battled the Moors a thousand years ago. Today, the capital of the Castille region draws visitors with its historical centre, fine dining and vibrant cultural life. Take a Burgos private tour and explore northern Spain with a local guide. Start your day under the cathedral spires. Construction started in the Gothic style in 1221, but by the time it was finished - 340 years later - the Renaissance was in full swing, so ask your guide to point out the distinctive styles. Don't miss the Cartuja de Miraflores monastery, home to an inspiring alterpiece sculpted by Gil de Siloe. Spanish people take lunch seriously, so sit down and dig in. Adventurous eaters can sample Morcilla de Burgos, a pig's blood sausage, while the squeamish can stick with a Jamon Serrano sandwich. Ready to get rolling?
