My visit to the caves were very informative, however Spanish is a must. Besides that the caves were covered in steel constructions, taking away the magical moment.

Let's face it, there isn't a ton to do in Burgos, so this is one of the star attractions. For less than 10 Euros (with student id), I was able to get an admission ticket to the Museum of Human Evolution, a bus ride to Atapuerca, and a tour of Atapuerca. I signed up a day prior, which is a... More
