This is the Camino De Santiago - Burgos 0 Euro Note. The Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James in English, is a network of pilgrims' ways or pilgrimages leading to the shrine of the apostle James in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where tradition holds that the remains of the apostle are buried. Pilgrims follow its routes as a form of spiritual path or retreat for their spiritual growth. It is also popular with hikers, cyclists, and organized tour groups. The official guide in those times was the Codex Calixtinus. Published around 1140, the 5th book of the codex is still considered the definitive source for many modern guidebooks. Four pilgrimage routes listed in the codex originate in France and converge at Puente la Reina. From there, a well-defined route crosses northern Spain, linking Burgos, Carrión de los Condes, Sahagún, León, Astorga, and Compostela.

Burgos is a city rich in medieval charm, history, and architecture. At its heart stands the magnificent Burgos Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Spain’s most stunning examples of Gothic architecture. Visitors can also explore the Monasterio de las Huelgas, a royal convent with centuries of history, and the Cartuja de Miraflores, a serene monastery housing the tombs of King John II and Queen Isabella of Portugal.

The city’s historic old town is perfect for strolling, with cobbled streets, stone bridges, and traditional tapas bars. The Museum of Human Evolution, featuring the nearby Atapuerca archaeological findings, offers insight into early human history and is one of Spain’s most modern museums.

Surrounded by scenic landscapes, Burgos is also ideal for nature lovers, with nearby walking and cycling routes, including the famous Camino de Santiago, which passes through the city.
