we spent yesterday wondering the pedestrian streets of Burgos, and to visit the Burgos Cathedral. A Gothic Cathedral with many revisions, redesigned and expansions. The details are amazing. I got a creak in my neck from looking up at the beautiful vaulted arches, doomed ceilings, and relief sculpture and paintings. Here are a few details I captured

Simply Stunning!
I can only take credit for noticing the beauty, and taking photos, the place is stunning!
Spectacular Cathedral photos! Europe is full of these treasures.
thanks Stewart, yes Europe is full of treasures, and with walking we actually stop and see more of them!
Beautiful!
thanks Cee, I haven’t visited your blog in a while, it is tough to get internet just to blog, but will get there again soon!
Love the doorway!
the doorways was quite lovely, and it was placed in such a way that it was hardly noticed. I watched so many people walk by it with seeing it!. It serves to remind me to slow down, even stop and look back occasionally, the view can be even better than the one in front of us!
My (Spanish) boyfriend’s favourite cathedral — so glad you got to experience it!
the Burgos Cathedral is quite amazing, but also very different than the other Cathedrals on the camino.
