Spain, This Time It's Burgos

Burgos is city of northern Spain, historic capital of Castile. It is situated at the edge of the central plateau. It is the capital of the province of Burgos, in the autonomous community of Castile and León.

The city forms the principal cross way of north Spain, remarked by the Camino de Santiago, which goes throughout all the city, parallel to the Arlanzón river.

It has a wide number of historic landmarks, set apart specially by the Cathedral of Burgos, Las Huelgas Reales Monastery and the Cartuja of Miraflores.

The Museum of Human Evolution was opened in 2010, unique in its kind across the world and projected to become one of the top 10 visited museums in Spain.

Quick Fix

Got hungry strolling down the tiled streets of Europe, in a park in Portugal. Quick solution? A snack at a sweet small restaurant.

It was our first meal out on our own. Of course, we checked on the chow prices, lest we can't afford to pay the bill and end up washing the dishes, heheh.

Well, a quick "merienda" or snack, that is, meant carbo-loading, fries and rice. We ended up eating such with chicken. Same old meal back at home. We really are a "rice-fries-chicken" people.

Turned out okay compared to the sausage meal I ordered since the sausage I tried tasted starchy. Extenders?

Our dinner experiences were better, superb even. But for the quick snack, it's still A OK.
