Burgos at night

The city is even more pretty at night than it was in the early evening.

I’ve not long got back from a amazing immersive nighttime visit to the cathedral for a sound and light show (no photos allowed but Google “Burgos catedral Stella”) created for the 800th anniversary of the cathedral in 2022. With translation into English, the show told the story of the foundation and building of what was the first gothic building in this area, as well as the backstory of several chapels, all pointing to the major theme that this building was created to share God’s light come into the world.

The building really is stunning. There are some good pictures here: https://londontraveller.org/2022/10/02/inside-b….

Whilst we were waiting for the show to begin, there was just enough light for a couple of internal snaps in the otherwise dark cathedral.

Saw El Cid’s tomb in the cathedral too, although this didn’t get a mention or illumination.

Back now to my albergue room, which is rather too warm and filled with 9 snoring men. At least no one will notice if there’s one more to add to the cacophony…もっと詳しく
