In the ninth century, Diego Rodríguez "Porcelos", the count of Castile, ordered to build a castle on the site of modern Burgos. The main purpose of the castle was to become a Christian frontier and protect the land from invasions of Muslims. Thanks to Porcelos, Burgos became the center of the county and then the center of the Kingdom of Castile. Many peasants from the nearby villages and settlements moved to Burgos and settled near the fortress wall. The city became more populous and started growing in size. Burgos became a prosperous place thanks to active trade with Bilbao where merchants exchanged their wool to wheat and metal. However, the city started losing its importance when Ferdinand II became the ruler. The new king stopped business relations with the port cities in the north.

Moving around in Spain - transportation

In addition, traveling on a personal or rented car is also possible in Spain. Although the quality of roads here are not the best in Europe, it is quite acceptable for comfortable travel. The price of gasoline in Spain is quite expensive and there are a lot of toll roads. This should be taken into account in advance when planning your budget. There are also systems of strict fines, so it is advisable not to violate the traffic rules. The fine on an average car is about $ 40 per day.

Economy roadmap of Spain

Machine-tool construction in Spain also makes a significant contribution to the economy. Most of its production is geared towards exportation. Thus, Spanish machines and industrial equipment are supplied to more than a hundred countries around the world. Over a century ago, metallurgical activity began to develop in Spain. The main assets are located in the northern regions where there are large deposits of iron ore and coal. Non-ferrous metallurgy is focused on the extraction of lead and zinc. One third of the world’s mercury is produced in Spain. Also, there is located the largest deposits of pyrite. The energy sector is directly dependent on imports. The amount of domestic oil can only meet 7% of the country’s needs. At the same time, the majority of Fuel and Energy Complex works on oil and gas (approximately 68%). This state of affairs gave the country an impetus for the development of wind power. Spain’s share of wind power is about 10% of the total world’s volume. The state plans to build about two thousand mega watt of new wind farm. … Open
