Es un espacio que expone y da a conocer la cultura popular de nuestros pueblos. El punto inicial es el taller/museo de cerámica, donde Félix Yáñez, el autor de la obra, trabaja y expone sus esculturas de terracota. En sus más de 20.000m2 que abarca, se encuentra también la recreación (a tamaño natural) de un pueblo castellano desde la época medieval hasta el siglo pasado. Construido desde cero con materiales reciclados, encontrados en escombreras, Félix ha levantado las callejuelas y plazas que lo conforman. Recorrerlo supone dar con varios museos, escaparates y portales que muestran los comercios y servicios de antaño, sin olvidar la propia ermita del poblado. En su interior cuenta también con dos corrales de comedias, que cobran vida en los meses de julio y agosto acogiendo las actividades de cada verano cultural, como el festival nacional de teatro, las noches de flamenco o de cine. También se realizan talleres con colegios, previa reserva telefónica

Lying on the opposite side of the Arlanzón River from the cathedral is the airy glass structure of the Museum of Human Evolution. Just outside Burgos is the UNESCO-recognized site of Atapuerca, where rich deposits of hominid fossils and bones going back 1.3 million years were found. The museum is based on those findings and does an excellent job explaining evolution, in general, and hominid evolution, specifically. I wish we could've spent more time here.

Situated on a terrace, steps from the main plaza of the Cathedral, the Church is an incredible gem. San Nicolás contains an amazing late 15th-century altar piece in honor of Saint Nicholas. The artistry is amazing, a visual treat designed to inspire spiritual meditation. The church itself is quite intimate, on a more human scale than the cathedral, with nice details and decorative elements. The ornate altar is the dominant attraction. But the other spaces should not be missed, especially the side altars. The afternoon I visited, the entrance was free (on Tuesday), and the visit was a bargain. It is close to the cathedral and worth the walk up the steps. It is a place to reflect, catch your breath, and process the spiritual.

One of the entrances to the old city, and certainly an entrance to take. Very impressive during the day, but even more impressive at night. I thought I had a picture of it at night, but I guess I don’t ...

This is one of the most elegant landmarks of the city of Burgos. It is a beautiful tree-lined promenade filled with restaurants and people. It is lovely to just walk along this promenade set in between the perimeter of the old town and the beautiful River Arlanzon. It comes to like in the afternoon and evening when it fills up with locals having a drink or something to eat. It is a must see!
