The Espolon, the tree-lined pedestrian avenue along the riverside in Burgos, is a wonderful touch of European culture in a town that´s somewhat stuffy and conservative. The people-watching at any of the cafés is great (even if the prices are higher out there), the sculptures and fountains and manicured gardens are splendid. A wonderful place to spend an afternoon or evening.
It worth a walk in the evening. Full of peolple taking a walk or drinkingand eating in the nearby cafes/esplanades.
Me parece un paseo precioso y cuidado en el que se reúne mucha gente para pasear o tomar algo, es una zona con mucha vida, y mucho que ver.preciosas estatuas con historia, jardines, el río un paseo precioso y en el que poder hacer buenas fotos.
Se quer ver essas exóticas árvores espanholas, Burgos é o lugar! Elas circundam os muros da cidade em um lindo boulevard à beira rio. Muito bonito e diferente das nossas árvores. Não têm flores ou folhas e se contorcem, unindo umas com outras. Fabuloso!
Sin duda pasear junto al río tiene un encanto especial, los columpios son buenísimos. El sitio es espectacular.
In contrast to the busy cathedral area of Burgos, the walkways along the river are a nice way to escape the crowds. The local people stroll along here and walk their dogs on the riverbank. Lovely gardens with statues and fountains.
Com bela vista para o rio e para o alinhamento das contruções ao longo das margens, o que mais me chamou a atenção foram as trepadeiras, que pareciam ser milenares, e que foram unidas pelas mãos do homem (uma copa pode ser alimentada por vários troncos e raízes)
I walked at least 7 kms along this path. It cuts through the city giving it a breath of fresh air. Surprised to see people sun bathing along the river and at the wide part, to see children going paddling. There is a bicycle track and a foot track. So nice to see local people using the path for exercise. The part of the path, near the Arco de Santa Maria (Gate) has statues which become fewer as one moves further away from the Gate. There are bridges one can use to cross from one side to another.
The pollard willows on this stretch of walk way are very picturesque. In winter, when it might be a bit misty, the atmosphere is top. On Sundays, it seems that the entire population is walking on this paseo.
If you like to know about human evolution from the very begining, this is a must.Para enamorados de la prehistoria y la evolución humana desde sus principios en África. Atapuerca super bien explicado
