City of Lights

Arco S.Maria where El Cid entered the city

We are finally in Burgos and great timing as they were having a huge annual festival. We had to dodge the younger crowds as they were throwing the colored powder and we had just finished our laundry. The main event stage was a block directly down from us which started about 11pm and went until 4am.  They even washed the Cathedral in beautiful lights. Even industrial earplugs were not enough! The Cathedral is one of Spain's most beautiful and second largest but I covered it when we were here before so won't go back over that. Of course this is the city of El Cid who is also

waiting for a bed at the alburgue

buried in the Cathedral.
