	Burgos, Spain - Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
		Burgos, a city in Castilla-Leon situated in the Pilgrim's Road to Santiago de Compostela, still preserves important vestiges of its medieval splendour.
		A critical factor in this development was that Burgos was the capital of the unified kingdom of Castilla-Leon between the 10th and 15th centuries; its privileged location on the Pilgrim's Road to Santiago de Compostela, and the monopoly it held over the trade of merino wool, also contributed.
		Burgos cuisine is enriched by a great variety of local products, like pulses, cured sausages, game meat, etc. Suckling lamb baked in a wood-fired oven, soused trout, and cod stew are some of its best main courses.

		The Burgos trial called attention to a new fact: the reemergence more or less everywhere of what central governments are in the habit of calling "separatist" tendencies.

		On this point the Burgos trial is clear, for in confronting the Spanish, the "accused" were aware of the risks: imprisonment, torture, capital punishment.
