I.L.H/BURGOS
They had no hurry ". That one is the sensation that has remained to the president of the Chapter, Matías Vicario, of the private visit that the Princes of Asturias realized to the Cathedral of Burgos. In forty five minutes that the tour lasted, Don Felipe and Dona Letizia proved to be " nice, nearby and nice ", doing very concrete questions and being interested for aspects as the top temperature that they noticed in the chapel of Santa Tecla (it has radiant soil), the door that was leading to the Golden Stairs, the perspective that there supports the altarpiece of the chapel of The Condestables or the tomb of the Leader and dona Jimena, who woke up specially the curiosity of the Princess of Asturias, to the being the colitigant of the Warrior daughter of the count of Oviedo.
All that happened after the arrival of the couple to the Cathedral to two o'clock in the afternoon, where they were got by the archbishop of Burgos, Francisco Gil Hellín, the abbot of Siloes, Clemente Serna, the president of the Chapter, Matías Vicario, and the canon Nicolás Lopez Martínez, who did the guide's times.
After visiting the chapel of the Holiest Christ, Holy Tecla, Holy Ana, the central ship, The Condestables, the cloister, the chapel of Holy Catalina and the room to come to terms, the Prince recognized to have found a " almost unknown " Cathedral from their last visit. He confessed him (according to) to Vicarious, he reminded a dark and dirty Cathedral and he had surprised this new image pleasingly.
The stay of the Princes in the Cathedral finished with the paragraph in the book of signatures and the delivery of present several. As recollection of their step along the Cathedral, the Chapter delivered them a facsimile of the Rule of Our Lady of the Creaçón, of the year 1494, a guide of the temple written by Lopez Martínez and a cathedral in miniature.
Great expectation
Before and after all that happened, in the exterior of the enclosure they were waiting for dozens of citizens who wanted to cover the couple with shouts and plaudits. Between more enthusiasts there was thinking a 14-year-old young man, Luis Alberto Domingo, that an autograph managed to start them. Or Maria Isabel Moliner, a 85-year-old lady in chair of wheels that was waiting for them in the door of Santa Maria, and with whom the couple chatted several minutes. Neither tourists, foreigners and natives were absent, that they could not imagine take that recollection of the city to them. With all they stopped, at least the indispensable time to give them the hand and to answer someone of their questions (the majority on the small Leonor) or to be left to come out in photographs with the mobile telephone.
And after the regards, the Princes directed for themselves the hotel Palace of The Mercy where they ate several local dishes of the zone, as Castilian, creaking soup of pudding of Burgos, stew of the Sierra de la Demanda or fresh smoked cheese of Burgos.
