Just be aware it's closed on Mondays. My rest day in Burgos was on a Monday...it was disappointing; a Russian pilgrim and I stood outside in the snow looking in the windows, like forlorn children. Next time (if there is a next timeMuseo de la Evolucion Humana and the day trip to Atapuerca (tours in Spanish only, but you visit the archeological dig. Fascinating. Life as much as one million years ago. The just identified the first known homicide from remains there.
Thank you for starting this thread. It's great to get tips from others who have actually been there; my companion and I didn't even get to see inside the cathedral as it was closed. What we did experience though was the Burgos men's basketball team returning home from a big win on the road. The cathedral plaza and surrounding streets were awash with townsfolk and others celebrating the return of their hometown heroes. I remember that ......and the piercing, unrelenting wind.Good morning everyone! We'll be spending a long weekend in Burgos - 5 June to 8 June - and i'd welcome a couple of ideas for things to do, not too expensive, for a group of 7. We were thinking of visiting a bodega near to Burgos, or perhaps another place of interest?
Grateful for any and all suggestions
Try morcilla ("black puding" in form of a sausage) in the evening after visiting/doing all of the previous suggestions
Thank you! Will check out that listCheck out this handy Trip Advisor list of things to do in Burgos. My personal MUST visit has always been the cathedral and it's exceptional museum. Enjoy your time in Burgos!
I'll be looking for that tapas barps there is a little tapas bar, close to the Gaudi building. Nondescript, scruffy, wonderful. Things to do in Burgos: Try and find this lovely little bar that you will remember forever. And one day we might even discover that we both found the same place.
TRied that last time! Never againTry morcilla ("black puding" in form of a sausage) in the evening after visiting/doing all of the previous suggestions
Buen provecho!
THx v much for this, defo checking further on these ideas...we're big on vino!!The Cathedral, the Monasterio de las Huelgas and the Cartuja de Miraflores are, IMHO, the top 3 of Burgos' religious architecture. Being pilgrims, you might be interested too in taking a look at the (remains of the) former Hospital del Rey (nowadays is a school of the University of Burgos).
The Monasterio de San Pedro de Cardeña (www.monasteriosanpedrodecardena.com) could be of your interest too but it's something like 10 kms out of Burgos and I'm not sure how easy/difficult would be to get there for a group like yours.
The tourism web of the city hall of Burgos has a brochure with ideas to spend 72 hours in Burgos. You could take a look at it to get some ideas:

If you insist in visiting a winery, the Ribera del Duero wine area could be of your interest and www.rutadelvinoriberadelduero.es a good web to get info about it. There's a wine area closer to Burgos: the Arlanza wine area but I don't know too much about it. You could use its web (www.arlanza.org) to ask for info though.
...and an olla podrida for lunch.
