Burgos

On the way up north to go camping, we stopped in Burgos. Burgos is where El Cid is buried. Click here for information about El Cid (or rent the Charlton Heston movie). We found it to be one of our favorite Spanish cities so far. There is a tree-lined boulevard next to a quaint river. The bridges and arches and trees make it feel more European than all of the "brown" Spanish cities we are used to. We got a few pictures before the camera batteries died.



(Can anybody tell us what kind of trees these are? Leave a comment, if so. )

Dear Jacksons,

I believe those are... tall trees, and the buildings below it are...big buildings, no wait, they might be large buildings. Anything else I can help with let me know.

They look like a type of sycamore to me - we had similar ones in our town in Hungary.
