Highlights

• Stand before a life-sized Christ figure crafted from buffalo leather with real hair and jointed limbs — pulled from the sea during a storm

• Trace the Camino de Santiago through streets that once held thirty-four taverns serving a quarter-million pilgrims a year

• Visit the palace where Columbus reported back from the Americas and one of the earliest human rights treaties was signed

• Learn why Burgos's most brilliant architect was rejected by his own city — and went on to design one of Spain's greatest cathedrals

• Taste your way through morcilla, wood-fired suckling lamb, and tapas with names too colourful to translate politely
