BURGOS
In 884, as part of the policy of repopulating the territories reconquered by the Christians, Alfonso III, king of Leon, trying to slow down the advance of the Muslims, ordered Count Diego Rodríguez to create a city on the banks of the Arlanzón. The origin of Burgos is, therefore, military. It benefits from a privileged geographical location due to the fact that it is halfway between Madrid and the French border, as well as very close cities such as Bilbao, Santander, Logroño or Valladolid, among others.
After being a simple stage of the Camino de Santiago, Burgos comes to dominate the Segovia-Bilbao commercial axis, that is to say the route for exporting wool, the main resource of Castile. At the end of the 15th century, the merchants of Burgos, after having established a de facto monopoly on the trade of this raw material, reigned over Old Castile and maintained agents in the main commercial centres of Western Europe: Nantes and Rouen, Antwerp and Bruges. They settled in Seville to take advantage of the relations established with America, and the quest for fortune took them to the Canaries, Cape Verde and Guinea. From the 16th century, however, the bourgeoisie of Burgos, until then the most prosperous in Spain, experienced decline.

MIRAFLORES CHARTERHOUSE
The Carthusian monastery, Miraflores Charterhouse (Cartuja de Miraflores) is situated about four kilometres from the historic city center.
Before the building was ceded to the Carthusian order, it was the recreational residence of Henry III of Spain, who decided to build this palace on one of his hunting reserves. The building was subsequently restored when his son King John II came to the throne, following a design by John of Cologne. Construction was finally completed in the reign of Queen Isabella, and the top architects, sculptures and painters of the time were employed for the job, including figures such as Simon of Cologne, Gil de Siloé and Pedro Berruguete. The Carthusian monastery became one of the treasures of the Gothic style of the late 15th century.
In the tympanum of the entrance to the church there is a pietà.

The aim of Habitat for Humanity’s microfinance programme in Uganda is to support increasing numbers of low-income families to build decent affordable housing. This programme helps families to finance their housing needs, families who are unable to access bank credit for home construction. Rather than HFHU building a house for a family, microfinance serves a greater number of people. Families own their own homes; these families are wholly independent. Those taking out loans are termed ‘clients’, and have their own ideas of how to improve their home. Through microfinance, families begin to work on their house – in simple stages – and can move into a good home in which to raise their family. With or without Habitat for Humanity and COINS Foundation these families have these ideas and dreams, but with this support, the reality of their dreams is brought closer.

At the end of the 15th century, the merchants of Burgos, after having established a de facto monopoly on the trade of this raw material, reigned over Old Castile and maintained agents in the main commercial centres of Western Europe: Nantes and Rouen, Antwerp and Bruges. They settled in Seville to take advantage of the relations established with America, and the quest for fortune took them to the Canaries, Cape Verde and Guinea. From the 16th century, however, the bourgeoisie of Burgos, until then the most prosperous in Spain, experienced decline.
CATHEDRAL
Burgos Cathedral is an immense Gothic church, built from 1220, in the ornate taste fashionable in Germany and France at that time.
Third cathedral in Spain by its dimensions (84 m long and 60 m wide), its construction will take more than three centuries.
BURGOS
In 884, as part of the policy of repopulating the territories reconquered by the Christians, Alfonso III, king of Leon, trying to slow down the advance of the Muslims, ordered Count Diego Rodríguez to create a city on the banks of the Arlanzón. The origin of Burgos is, therefore, military. It benefits from a privileged geographical location due to the fact that it is halfway between Madrid and the French border, as well as very close cities such as Bilbao, Santander, Logroño or Valladolid, among others.
After being a simple stage of the Camino de Santiago, Burgos comes to dominate the Segovia-Bilbao commercial axis, that is to say the route for exporting wool, the main resource of Castile.

Color and B&W versions. You can see how B&W "rescues" many (most!) photos from the intense color and lighting issues from the simple stage lights. I am reminded of the old adage, "Tri-X, f/8, and be there." (Though none of that is remotely true in 2024.)
