With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Covarrubias, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Colegiata de San Cosme y San Damian, Taller Artesano Yanez and Tower of Fernan Gonzalez. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Burgos, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Burgos Cathedral. (But we’re also huge fans of Museum of Human Evolution and Burgos Castle.)
