Meson Del Cid - Hôtel *** à Burgos, Espagne

Few cathedrals match that of Burgos and if you come to see this marvel of the

Spanish Gothic stay at Mesón del Cid; from the rooms at the front you can almost reach out and touch the buttresses, pinnacles and grimacing gargoyles. The building once housed one ofthe first printing presses in Spain, established by an acolyte of Gutenberg more than 500 years ago, and the hotel

takes its name from and illuminated manuscript of Mío Cid displayed at Reception. This fine old townhouse is quite naturally considered The place to stay in Burgos. Good things await you in the timbered restaurant where the setting is perfect for trying the traditional thick stews and roast meats that are so typical of this part of Spain.
