El Burgo de Osma
An episcopal town with a Gothic cathedral and arcaded streets, an ideal base for the Río Lobos Canyon.
Area: El Burgo de Osma y Gormaz
El Burgo de Osma is a small episcopal town with a very well-preserved monumental centre. Its Gothic cathedral and arcaded Calle Mayor make it worth more than a passing stop.
What to do
- Visit the cathedral and stroll the Plaza Mayor and Calle Mayor.
- Head to the Gormaz castle, a huge Caliphate-era fortress that dominates the landscape.
- Use the town as a base for the Río Lobos Canyon, just a few kilometres away.
- Taste the local cooking: restaurants in the town take part in the Mushroom Tapas Week.
A good plan for a quiet weekend of nature, history and good food.
