骑行朝圣路Camino de Santiago Frances

Burgos Cathedral is a true work of art. In fact, it was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

The monument follows Gothic patterns but inside the decoration also introduces Renaissance and Baroque elements.

It really is something spectacular. It is full of surprising details and it is a luxury to enjoy from inside the game of colors coming from the light that filters through the rose windows and stained glass windows.

San Martin's in Fromista is the most perfect Romanesque church on the Camino

The Episcopal palace was designed by Antoni Gaudi for his friend the Bishop of Astorga

San Xoan Church in Portomarin was rebuilt on higher ground above the waters of the Belesar reservoir
