It is situated in the middle of the roads Madrid-Bilbao and Barcelona-Santiago de Compostela, at the edge of the Iberian central plateau. It has about 180,000 inhabitants in the actual city and another 20,000 in the metropolitan area. It is the capital of the province of Burgos, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. Burgos was once the capital of the Crown of Castile. It has many historic landmarks, of particular importance; the Cathedral of Burgos (declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984), Las Huelgas Reales Monastery and Miraflores Charterhouse. A large number of churches, palaces and other buildings from the medieval age remain. The Pilgrims Way is crossing the City (parallel to the river Arlanzon) and the Prehistoric Site of Atapuerca is only 15 km far from the city. Both also have been declared World Heritage Site. Picture 1.1: The location of the Municipality of Burgos in Spain. D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Municipality of Burgos 3 It has a well-developed transportation system, forming the main communication node in northern Spain. In 2008, the international Burgos Airport started to offer commercial flights. Furthermore, AVE high speed trains are planned to start in service in 2015. The Museum of Human Evolution was opened in 2010, unique in its kind across the world and projected to become one of the top 10 most-visited museums in Spain. The museum features the first Europeans, which lived in this area 800,000 years ago. The Municipality and city covers 107.08 km2 and, very important, an elevation of 859 m which turns into one of the coldest Spanish Cities. The population of the city is 179,906 with a density of 1,680 inhabitant/km2 At an elevation of 856 metres (2,808 ft), the city of Burgos experiences the continental Mediterranean climate. Burgos' climate features very cold and windy winters due to altitude and an inland location. Winters always include snow and temperatures below freezing. Burgos' continentality is caused by two principal factors: 1) distance from the sea and 2) higher altitude. Temperature ranges can be extreme and Burgos is much drier than Spain's coastal regions, although there is year-round precipitation. Average annual precipitation is 555 mm and the average annual relative humidity is 72%. In winter, temperatures very often (almost every day) drop below freezing, often reaching temperatures as low as −10 °C, and snowfalls are common, while the summer months are hot and see average high temperatures of 26.4 °C. Politically, it is important to remark that the Bus Transportation System is a Department of the City Council; it belongs completely to the Council and managed by the Mobility Department. 1.2 The area geography and constraints The local geography is 107.08 km2 and the main problems arisen are that some areas as the University Area (West), and the two main Industrial Areas: Gamonal, in the East and Villalonquejar, North-West, are far from the city centre. Distances are: the University Area and Gamonal Industrial Area about 6 km from the City Centre and around 13 km the Industrial Area of Villalonquéjar. D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Municipality of Burgos 4 Picture 1.2.1: A map of the City remarking the University and the Industrial Areas. The City has got, nevertheless, a very flat configuration, without any problems, as it is configured along the river. Only some highs in the Castle Area, but it is an area that none is living there. Only around the city centre there is a kind of elevation, solved by accessible little internal roads in the City Centre, an electric escalator, and a lift to link two streets. Picture 1.2.2 is a satellite photograph that provides a view of the geography of the area. The most important geographic constraint is the high area in the City Centre, solved as explained and only affecting 200 neighbours. Picture 1.2.2: A Satellite map of the City remarking the only constrain in the City Centre. D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Municipality of Burgos 5 1.3 Transport and mobility infrastructure offered The basic road network of the area is comprised by big roads, as it was explained as it is in the middle of two main axes in the northern Spain: South-North and West-East. The roads to south are to Madrid, when a small industrial area is located in that area. The roads to west cover Logroño (road to Barcelona) and Bilbao, although is located in the north of Spain, and the north roads link with Santander. The West roads are lnking to Valladolid and Santiago de Compostela. Picture 1.3: Main roads to / from Burgos. The importance of the internal roads deserves an explanation. The University area is reached only by Valladolid Street (to the West) and the Gamonal Area mainly Vitoria Street ((West) and the internal road and external ring road. The Villalonquejar area can be reached from Valladolid street, Cantabria street or by the external ring road. It depends very much on the position of the company of factory, workers may choose one way or another (the area is covering more than 600 has, 6 million square meters). Although counting with 20,000 inhabitants, the surroundings of Burgos does not mean a problem as they have experimented two situations: D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Municipality of Burgos 6 - First, the City decided to cover the are with the main services: water, electricity and transports. In that case the areas have implemented what is called Peripheral Mayors but they depend on the City of Burgos. - The second option is the areas very far from the City (more than 15 km). Those areas depend on the regional government in terms of water, electricity or transport, and the City Council can´t participate in the timetables, frequency or decisions of the PT commuting to the City, Nevertheless, the population of these villages is not high, less than 5,000 people. Due to the dispersion of the people living in the area, the regional government offers fixed buses to commute and transport on demand service, mainly for elderly people. Also provides buses for the children to move daily to schools and secondary schools. 2 Socioeconomic and demographic structure Burgos has seen a process of immigration, being only 160,000 in the late 90s up to the 180,000 currently living. That was another reason why people started to walk less as the city limits expanded. The population is also getting older. Although has got a good number of people in the 0-25 range, the main number of people is from 25-55, and being more than 65 an outstanding 23%. Picture 2.1: Population distribution in Burgos D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Municipality of Burgos 7 The data of the elderly people is especially interesting at the time of studying the mobility patterns, as they use the bus often, and also thanks to the new generation of people over 65, it is important to remark the high use of the bike, more than the 4% of the general population, and getting a 8% of the people over 65 moving by bike. Although the rates of rent per capita 26.186 € rank Burgos the 10th richest city in Spain, after the Basque Country cities, the Catalonian cities, Navarra and Madrid, there are special rates for elderly people with limited resources in transport (mainly focusing on elderly people and unemployed people). 3 Local public transport systems The local policy objectives regarding the urban mobility were established in the earlier 2000s. Burgos signed the letter for the accessibility and mobility in 2001, and joined the CiViTAS Forum in 2004. Burgos presented its SUMP in 2005, being one of the first Spanish cities if not the first in developing one. The SUMP covers the period 2005-2015 and was the base for the measures and activities already performed in the city in terms of sustainable mobility. In the same year 2005 Burgos started the CiViTAS Caravel project under the umbrella of the CiViTAS II initiative with the cities of Krakow, Stuttgart and Genoa, in which, in the period 2005-2009 a good number of the actions planed in the SUMP were developed. Burgos developed its Bicycle Plan in 2010, and also has got a specific plan for “Mobility to the Industrial Areas” or the “Plan for the Delivery of Goods” mainly in the city centre. Also Burgos belongs to “Cities for Mobility”, “Covenant of Mayors”, “Walking Cities” Networks and is the Secretariat of the CiViNET Network for Spain and Portugal. In terms of European projects, Burgos has participated in the mentioned CiViTAS, SUMOBIS (Interreg SUDOE in which the mobility office was implemented, with the cities of Toulouse, Lisbon or Oviedo among others), SaMERU (DG Move with the cities of Southend on Sea, Lancashire County Council or Modena, regarding elderly people and relation with the bicycle in the case of Burgos), Miciudad CO2 (Interreg SUDOE with the cities of Málaga or Villanova de Gaia about sustainable development, in which a part was regarding mobility), POSSE (Interreg Regio with the cities of Reading, Berlin or Pisa, among others, regarding Open Data in ITS), CHAMP (IEE, regarding the bicycle strategy and actions with the cities of Edinburgh, Ljubljana or Bolzano, among others), CiViNET (DG Move with the creation of the local networks, in which Burgos was the project coordinator, with Toulouse, Genoa, Lancashire County Council and Ljubljana) to mention the most topic-related to Smart Move.

  • ROMAN ENGINEERING on the ROADS to SANTIAGO II – the Roads of the Rioja1
    © Isaac Moreno Gallo http://www.traianvs.net/ _______________________________________________________________________________ ROMAN ENGINEERING ON THE ROADS TO SANTIAGO II – The roads of the Rioja1 Published in: Revista Cimbra 356 by the Colegio de Ingenieros Técnicos de Obras Públicas [College of Public Works Technical Engineers]. Isaac Moreno Gallo © 2004 [email protected] TRAIANVS © 2005 (Translated by Brian R. Bishop © 2005) Introduction The present-day area of the Rioja has since antiquity been crucial to East-West communications in the North of the Iberian Peninsula. The road that communicated with Aquitania (Aquitaine) from Asturica (Astorga) via Pompaelo (Pamplona) led off the road to Tarraco (Tarragón) through Caesaraugusta (Saragossa) by a deviation at Virovesca (Briviesca). It gave this area a special strategic importance in that it was traversed by the East-West Roman highway for the whole of its present length. Important Roman cities like Libia (Herramélluri-Leiva), Tritium Magallum (Tricio), Vareia (Varea), Calagurris (Calahorra) and Graccurris (Alfaro) flourished, doubtless with the help of this vital communication route. The whole of the later history of the Rioja is closely linked with this spinal column, which has not ceased being used up to today: it performs its purpose still in the form of a motorway. A large part of it served, as only it could, the stream of people and cultures created by the pilgrimage to St. James of Compostela. As a result of this combination of politics and history, of the means of communications, of royal interests, of religious foundations and various other factors, the pilgrim roads changed through the ages. The changes were more visible at the beginning, before the Way was established by the centres of religion and hospitality that were specially founded to attract and care for pilgrims.

Juan José García González, catedrático de Historia Medieval. El contenido se identifica con los itinerarios que unían la ciudad de Burgos con los puer- tos del Cantábrico centro-oriental y, en concreto, con los de Santander, Laredo, Castro- Urdiales, Bilbao y Portugalete. El autor aspira en este plano a la restitución más fidedigna posible de sus trazados y de las variantes que fueron incorporando. Su ámbito territorial comprende la mitad septentrional de la actual provincia de Bur- gos, el tramo oriental de la Comunidad Autónoma de Cantabria y el segmento occidental de las provincias de Álava y Vizcaya. El marco cronológico se circunscribe a los siglos XV y XVI o, si se prefiere, al período que opera como puente de paso de la Edad Media a la Edad Moderna. A pesar de que el territorio burgalés es y ha sido siempre una encrucijada de caminos, los estudios que se les han dedicado están bien lejos de cubrir las expectativas.

  • Case Study of Two Regions in the Cantabrian Mountains (Spain)
    Centre for Research on Settlements and Urbanism Journal of Settlements and Spatial Planning J o u r n a l h o m e p a g e: http://jssp.reviste.ubbcluj.ro Population Dynamics in Spanish Mountain Areas: Case Study of Two Regions in the Cantabrian Mountains (Spain) Carmen DELGADO VIÑAS1 1 University of Cantabria, Department of Geography, Urban and Regional Planning, Cantabria, SPAIN E-mail: [email protected] K e y w o r d s: mountain areas, depopulation, territorial dynamics, rural development, Cantabria A B S T R A C T This paper synthesizes some of the most significant results of a research project that has been developed along three years, from 2007 to 2010, in which researchers from several Spanish universities participated. The main objective was to detect and diagnose conditions that occur in the current process of socio-economic renovation and innovation in mountain areas. At the same time, we addressed the study of dynamics and processes of change that have occurred in these areas in recent years. All these have determined new forms of occupation and organization, set new directions in land use and opened a discussion on the balance that this model represents. Today, one of the main problems afflicting many of these mountainous areas is the low human occupancy as evidenced by the predominance of extremely low population densities. Most municipalities have an average density of less than 10 inhabitants/km², which is considered the threshold of “demographic desertification”. This weak potential makes difficult to revitalize locally and impairs the development without input of outsider population.

  • Marqués De Burgos, `Crianza` Ribera Del Duero 2017 Ribera Del Duero, Castilla Y León, Spain
    Marqués de Burgos, `Crianza` Ribera del Duero 2017 Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León, Spain PRODUCER Marqués de Burgos is the Ribera del Duero operation of Bodegas LAN. Established experts in Tempranillo in Rioja, they embarked on a search for prime vineyard sites within the Ribera del Duero region, where this famed grape also thrives. Their thorough search led them to the village of Quintana del Pidio and old bush vine vineyards producing low yields of very intensely flavoured grapes. María Barúa is at the winemaking helm and perfectly marries the exuberant berry fruit aromas of Tempranillo with subtle spiciness from measured use of oak. VINEYARDS The Tempranillo for the ‘Crianza’ comes from 40-year-old vines located in the towns of Quintana del Pidio, La Horra and Roa de Duero within the province of Burgos. These old vines produce low yields of very concentrated and intense fruit, packed full of flavour. The vineyards are on south-facing slopes at an altitude of 850 metres above sea level. Cool nights at this altitude counteract the heat of the days and allow the grapes to retain a balancing acidity. VINTAGE The 2017 vintage in Ribera del Duero was not without its challenges. The growing season got off to a difficult start when a frost on the 27th April damaged many of the young buds in certain plots and reduced yields. The rest of the growing season was characterised by hot and dry conditions and some vines suffered hydric stress, however, older vines with deeper root systems fared better. The harvest took place on the 2nd October.
