The town of Los Ausines make up the Barrio de San Juan, the Barrio de Sopeña and the Barrio de Quintanilla. Among the places of interest it is worth mentioning: the hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Castillo, the Church of Santa Eulalia and a beautiful recreational area next to it and the Castromayor Site, which preserves a wall from the II Iron Age (the wall preserves about 70 centimeters high and 3 meters wide).

Paved Rail Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

Here we can now look forward to a peaceful tarmac surface. Whether this is necessary is anyone's guess. It would be better if the money was invested in further expanding the route!

Statue of El Cid, the Campeador (Plaza del Mio Cid, Burgos)

Highlight • Monument

In the Plaza de Mio Cid stands the monument statue to Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar -El Cid Campeador-.
The bronze equestrian statue of the Cid was made by Juan Cristóbal and inaugurated in 1955.
With the sword and the cape flying in the wind, the equestrian image with Babieca as a mount, has an attitude of departure towards exile. The sword points towards Valencia, a city that he conquered in 1094. The statue faces the San Pablo bridge where we can see eight Cidian figures by Joaquín Lucarini.

Burgos

Highlight • Settlement

Architecture friends and those interested in history are in the right place in Burgos: from the narrow old town streets, to the spacious Plaza Mayor, the impressive cathedral, various venerable monasteries and the striking castle ruins above the city, there is an incredible amount to discover here.

The Cathedral of Burgos with its many ornaments is of course a particularly impressive building that you definitely have to see. But a visit from the inside is also worthwhile, because, among other things, you can marvel at the final resting place of the Castilian knight and Spanish national hero El Cid and his wife Doña Jimena. The bones were moved here from the Monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña in 1835 to create a more dignified tomb for the hero. His legendary sword "Tizona" can also be seen here.
