Province of Burgos

The Province of Burgos is an administrative area in Castile and León that spans the northern part of Spain with mountain ranges, woodlands, and rivers including the Ebro and the Duero. The territory includes many municipalities spread between highlands and valleys.

The archaeological site of Atapuerca in the area documents the presence of early humans and hominids over one million years ago. These findings are among the oldest evidence of human occupation in Europe.

The Valpuesta manuscripts found here are among the oldest texts in Castilian and come from the tenth century. These documents show how the language evolved over the centuries.

A network of motorways connects the area with neighboring regions and makes it easier to navigate between towns. Burgos Airport offers flight connections for travelers.
