   • Cathedral. Burgos’ 13th-century Cathedral of St. Mary is UNESCO-listed, and stands out as the only cathedral in Spain to earn this status without being grouped with other buildings.
   • Monasterio de Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas. It’s also difficult to sum up the historical importance of this next monument, just beyond the western edge of the city.
   • Burgos Castle. On the west side of the city banking up high behind the cathedral is the tallest hill in Burgos. This was the first part of the city to be settled, as far back as the Iron Age, and it’s the site of the city’s castle.
   • A Walk Through the Historic Centre. Take the weight off at a cafe on Plaza Mayor with a cold beer or cup of cafe con leche and see the town hall and irregular jumble of painted old buildings on all sides.
