5 Coworking Spaces in Burgos

About Burgos

Awash in medieval architecture, Burgos is a provincial capital in the community of Castile and León. Its most iconic landmark is the St Mary French Gothic Cathedral with its 3 doorways flanked by ornamental bell towers. If you peer inside the Chapel of Condestable that is decorated with figures of saints you will find the tomb of the 11th Century military commander, El Cid (Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar). The crown in the jewels of religious architecture that dominates the city skyline is the Gothic cathedral of Burgos that was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. The city sits in northern Spain on the meeting of the tributaries of the Arlanzon River perched on the edge of the Iberian central plateau. With a population around the 180,000 mark, it is literally dotted with historical sights. Stepping into this amazing town of yesteryear are coworking venues to cater to its locals that have no intention of leaving their wondrous home turf.

Burgos sits on the Camino de Santiago pilgrim trail with a highly developed transportation system that forms the main communication route in northern Spain. The Burgos Airport offers commercial flights and high-speed trains are planned for the near future, which will stop at the Rosa de Lima train station. For the museum buff there is the Museum of Human Evolution, which opened in 2010 to meander around when you are over ancient buildings. Outstanding restaurants of traditional fare can be found throughout the cobblestoned streets that will beg you to keep on exploring.

There are plenty of opportunities for tech savvy entrepreneurs with Spanish startups growing 7% in 2017 with signs pointing to a consolidation within the startup community. Spain has a high quality education system that is pushing out hungry youths that are no longer rushing to pursue their careers abroad. Spain's entrepreneurial activity is spread throughout the whole country with hot spots in Madrid and Barcelona, as well as within smaller regions considering their locals are quite content to sit in their own backyards of tapas and wine. Coworking venues are giving the Burgos locals the space to meet, connect and get some work done in blissful collaboration.
