Briviesca is the capital of La Bureba, one of the most beautiful regions in the province of Burgos which Azorin called "the heart of the land of Burgos" and which, due to its urban layout, is known as "la bien trazada" (the well planned one). While walking its medieval streets, the traveller discovers real treasures from a past that refuses to disappear.
The Villa of Briviesca, located in the North West of the province of Burgos, was declared a Historic and Artistic Site in 1983. Not only does its artistic wealth and historic value offer a pleasant walk to those visiting the town, but the region of Bureba also boasts outstanding natural scenery, such as the canyon of Pancorbo or the Obarense mountains, bringing together culture and nature in this area of Burgos.
