4 short city breaks in inland Spain

This city was founded in the Middle Ages, and still retains some of the charms of those times, not least the Gothic cathedral of Santa María, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We also recommend you climb up to the cathedral viewpoint, as from here you can see the whole of the city at your feet. If you’d like to try the cuisine of Burgos, be sure to visit the Las Llanas district where you’ll find lots of lively restaurants and bars to taste local delicacies such as morcilla (black pudding), queso de Burgos (fresh cheese), and cojonudos, slices of bread with spicy chorizo, hot paprika and quails’ eggs. Delicious!

Bilbao is a small city, but there are lots of things to do, and places to discover. You simply cannot miss one of its most modern icons, the Guggenheim Museum of contemporary art. And going from the most modern to the most classic, after visiting the museum why not head for the Casco Viejo, the old city centre and the perfect place to shop for some traditional souvenirs. You’ll find the Cathedral of Santiago here in the centre as well, and you can try Basque cuisine in miniature with pintxos, small slices of bread with all sorts of different toppings that people usually go from bar to bar to eat. And finally, you can’t leave Bilbao without taking a pleasant sunset stroll along the ría, the estuary of Bilbao.  As you can see, these cities all have so much to offer. Culture, history, and delicious cuisine join together to offer you a perfect city break. But remember that these are just some of the cities in Spain where you can spend a few wonderful days, there are many more out there waiting to be discovered.
