The Burgos City Guides answer the questions every visitor brings: which bar on Calle San Lorenzo does the best morcilla, when to see the cathedral and when the museums, how to reach the monasteries and Atapuerca on the edge of town and which valley makes the best day out. Each guide is a short list with an opinion, giving the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Restaurante Casa Ojeda
Calle Vitoria 5, by the Casa del Cordón
The city’s grand old dining room, cooking since 1912: sopa castellana and morcilla first, then lamb straight from the wood oven. The bar downstairs serves pinchos and the family pastry shop is next door. From the food guide.
Cartuja de Miraflores
Fuentes Blancas, 3.5 km east
Carthusian monks still live in this monastery, where a late-Gothic altarpiece glows above the alabaster tombs of Isabella of Castile’s parents. An hour is enough, and the walk along the river is part of the visit. From the things to do guide.
Monasterio de Santo Domingo de Silos
Santo Domingo de Silos, about 1 h south-east by car
A two-storey Romanesque cloister where every carved capital tells a different story, one of the finest in Europe. Stay for vespers to hear the Benedictine monks sing Gregorian chant. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Burgos
Day one: the cathedral and the churches around it in the morning, the climb to the castle viewpoint after lunch, then a pincho crawl along Calle San Lorenzo once the bars fill up. Day two: the Museo de la Evolución Humana, Las Huelgas or the Cartuja de Miraflores, and a long lechazo lunch in an asador. For a rainy or slow day, pair the free museums from the budget guide with a coffee in an old café, or take a car down the Arlanza valley to Covarrubias and Silos.
