➡️ OFFICIAL TOURIST GUIDE AND HISTORIAN

A different tour to meet the most famous man in the history of Burgos.


The figure of El Cid Campeador has always aroused much interest and controversy. It has been said that he was one of the greatest heroes in history, it has also been said that he was a traitor who sold his king in exchange for money, and it has even been said that he was a traitor who sold his king in exchange for money.
