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…

One of the best-known names in Spain because this town is known for the set of prehistoric excavations that are unique in southern Europe.

Atapuerca is a World Heritage site with its famous Paleolithic excavations, which can also be visited by prior arrangement. The Gran Dolina is famous, place where the Homo antecessor (probably H.erectus - experts are not yet sure whether it is a human species of its own) dates to > 850,000 a. A UK remnant was found in the Sima del Elefante that was even older and is estimated at > 1 million a. In the Sima de los Huessos (Bone Cave) 29 complete H.Heidelbergensis skeletons (>400000 a old) were found. (i.e. 80% of all fossil human finds) They are the ancestors of the Neanderthals (200000-40000 a), who in turn lived approx. 40000 a , replaced by H.sapiens (d.s. we), became extinct. To emphasize the importance of this site, it is the cradle of the European natives, here are the testimonies of the first people who immigrated from Africa and therefore they have also been rightly named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The skeleton finds can be seen in the Museo de la Evolución Humana in Burgos (located in the middle of the old town of Burgos and is a hot tip)

On the N-120 between Villafranca Montes de Oca and Burgos there is a fork on the right that leads (heading north-west on the BU-V-7012 road) to Atapuerca. In this municipality there is an archaeological site of primary importance, containing a large quantity of hominid bones dating back to over 400,000 years ago. For this reason the site has been included among the World Heritage sites. The archaeological park can be visited from Monday to Friday (from 9 to 17), Saturdays and public holidays (from 9 to 14)

honestly? Here the Way of St. James runs on asphalt and that day I just thought ... do a museum tour? Neanderthals look - so through and away - that day I met 2 Italians - one of them I later gave my straw hat, which I bought in Sicily because he got away - so a piece of home against the heat.
