Burgos!

This morning we arrived in Burgos, and we immediately went to tour the cathedral. What can one say about this magnificent edifice? It is simply one of the marvels of architecture and art. Eventually my photos will load, but this is hampered by lack of wifi and lack of bandwidth. 
To give a small idea of its splendour, consider this: the Eucharistic chapel where we went to evening Mass contains – in addition to the main altar, larger-than-life hyper-realistic crucifix, and tabernacle – two side altars with gilded retablos of The Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Lady, respectively, as well as the tombs of seven bishops and clerics. 

And you may rest assured that there were no liturgical shenanigans at the Mass! Neither was there a homily, which I find it laudable practice in many cases.
