    A city fountain that once poured wine instead of water whenever kings arrived. A medieval gate hiding a secret room with a six-hundred-year-old ceiling. A bridge lined with characters from Spain's oldest epic poem. This self-guided audio walking tour of Burgos uncovers stories most visitors walk straight past.

Along the way, the tour weaves in Burgos's food culture — from morcilla to suckling lamb on the tapas streets. Everything runs from your phone — no meeting point, no fixed time, no group.

    Territorio Luthier is enjoying the world of wine in a family winery where we decided long ago that making wine was not the only important thing, but knowing how to enjoy it and transmit it to those who want to enjoy it with us. We do not harvest large quantities of grapes, nor are we bound by the elaboration of specific categories. Just as a luthier patiently creates a musical instrument that delights the senses for many years, we make aging wines that can also be enjoyed over time. Our winery is located in a quiet place surrounded by nature. On the sunniest days we can enjoy the terrace, where the friendly forest dwellers sometimes come to visit us; roe deer, hares or foxes. Other days we enjoy the wine inside the winery, in our cozy tasting room. Live this experience with us and get a good taste in your mouth on your visit to the Ribera del Duero.
