Burgos Cathedral is one of the brightest monuments of the gothic religiuos arquitecture in Spain, declared Common Heritage of Mankind in 1987. Next to this skyline-defining monument, the rehabilitated old center contains a number of restaurants and tapas taverns where to enjoy local living. Streets remain old historical figures like El Cid Campeador.
The Iglesia of San Esteban, the main representative of the “Serrano Romanesque” style resides in Pineda de la Sierra, a beautiful village in the heart of Sierra de la Demanda along with the nearby Vizcaínos and Jaramillo de la Fuente Churches. In the south slope (Tierra de Lara) another interesting monument deserves a visit: the Visigothic Chapel of Quintanilla de las Viñas.
