Burgos

Burgos was the first capital of Castilla (breaking away from León), the birthplace of El Cid, and the base of power of Franco. It's politically and religiously conservative, and a strong bastion of the Cathtilian lithp.

We trooped up to the Iglesia de San Gil at noon on Tuesday to rehearse, then had a break, after which we dressed and were bused out to Las Huelgas to sing to the nuns. After that we were bused back into town, and walked back up to San Gil for our concert. There had been no publicity to speak of, but we has a reasonably full house, including a batch of pilgrims who had heard us sing in San Juan de Ortega on Monday afternoon.
