Hotel in Province of Burgos, Spagna

Province of Burgos sits in northern Spain's Castile and León region, with a continental climate that gives you hot summers (around 80°F/27°C) and cold winters (around 40°F/4°C). It's famous as the birthplace of El Cid and home to the massive Gothic Burgos Cathedral, started in 1221, where you can see his tomb. In spring or fall, you can hike the Camino de Santiago route that cuts through the province, or drive south to the Ribera del Duero wine region for tastings; in winter, fewer crowds mean you'll have the cathedral's soaring stone arches almost to yourself, plus you can warm up with a bowl of morcilla sausage or roasted lechazo.
