Cathedral of Santa Maria in Burgos

The 13th century Cathedral of Santa Maria in Burgos, is one of the most beautiful in Spain and one of Spain's largest cathedrals.  It is Gothic in style but combines many different architects.  It is designated as a World Heritage Site.  There are many side chapels dedicated to the saints, including a chapel dedicated to St. James, the Moor-slayer (pictured below).  In the center of the cathedral lies the tombs of El Cid and his wife Jimena.  We spent all morning touring the cathedral, then had tapas and a beer and now just relaxing during their siesta.  Tomorrow we leave Burgos for a 13 mile walk to Hornillos del Camino.  Buen Camino !!!
