Burgos

When you walk (part of) the Camino, make time for a couple of rest days in Burgos. The Cathedral is famous and really takes several half days to begin to absorb. However, there is a great deal more. In addition to the many monuments - the castle, the city museum, other churches and monasteries - just strolling beside the river and pausing for chocolate con churro (try the restaurant behind the theatre) is a restful delight. It is a good place to replenish supplies as well.
