Covarrubias, Medieval administrative center in Burgos Province, Spain.

Located in the Arlanza Valley, Covarrubias spans over 41 square kilometers and maintains a population of approximately 560 residents.

In the 10th century, Count Fernán González and his son García Fernández established Covarrubias as the capital of the Infantazgo administrative region.

The Excolegiata of San Cosme and San Damián, built in the 15th century, contains a 16th-century cloister and a 17th-century organ.

The municipal office at Plaza Dña Urraca 1 provides administrative services and information through telephone number 947406487 and email communication.

The etymology of Covarrubias stems from Latin 'cova-rubea', referring to the red caves near the urban center.
