Overland to Leon, via Burgos

Burgos was the historic capital of the 16th- century Castile kingdom.  This is one of Spain's most well-preserved medieval cities, and a UNESCO world heritage site.  The Arco de Santa Maria was the ancient entrance to the city:

Burgos was also believed to be the location where the legendary El Cid was buried
