Ideal places for mountain biking and hiking routes

The Solar del Cid is a monument in Burgos, built in 1784 by the artist José Cortés. It marks the spot where Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, also known as El Cid Campeador, is traditionally said to have had his home. Although there is no historical evidence that this was true, the legend did exist and the monument was built to cherish his memory. The monument consists of three monoliths of stone from Hontoria de la Cantera, with the coat of arms of El Cid in the center, and the coats of arms of Burgos and the Monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña on the sides.

The abbey complex is a dream: 13th century and really well preserved. Unfortunately, the interior has little spiritual impact due to the latticework and the large burial chamber in the center of the room.

Excavation site only open until 17:30

The monastery is an interesting place to spend the night, and has a very small bar and café, but the albergue El Descanso de San Juan by the side of the monastery has lovely pizzas

Rodilla Monastery. Church of Saint Mary Magdalene

With good shade in summer, beautiful in autumn

The area used to be impassable and feared due to gangs of robbers. The monastery offers a pilgrims' hostel.
