Burgos has the privilege of being one of the greenest cities in Spain. According to a municipal study from 2018, we have 37 square meters of green areas per inhabitant, with the national average being 11 square meters per inhabitant. The creation of what would later be called Paseo de la Isla was born during the Napoleonic occupation of the city.

Today it is an authentic botanical garden in which we find various species of trees and bushes perfectly identified with cartouches. We find chestnut trees, maples, firs, firs, plane trees, beeches, poplars, redwoods, cedars, cypresses, hollies, alders, strawberry trees, birches, catalpas, hawthorns, ashes, acacias... In 2012 the rehabilitation carried out in the Parque de la Isla received the Alhambra award for the best public gardening project. This award is granted by the Spanish Society of Parks and Gardens.

The rosette, one of the most famous decorative elements on the promenade.
The roundabout is the start of a romantic promenade about 800m long and is known as an island walk. I look forward to photos from your journey of discovery…
