Hello Jennifer, If your are going to Burgos, I really recommend you visiting the province of Palencia from south to north. It is a really artistic rich area and it is close to Burgos. Besides, you can check this guide ( http://www.monasteriesofspain.com/details.php?i=CASTILLA-LEON.jpg) with detailed information about the monasteries in the region of Castilla y León and also the rest of Spain.
