If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Located 17 miles away, Burgos is worth getting in the car for. Burgos Cathedral, Museum of Human Evolution and Burgos Castle alone make the drive out worth it. Locals will also probably point you toward Aguilar de Campoo, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Monastery of Santa Maria la Real. (But we’re also big fans of Monastery of Santa María de Mave and Iglesia de los Santos Justo y Pastor.)
