An eerie performance of ancient sacred music, combining vocal chant and bells in an electronic display in the cloister at Burgos Cathedral. Taken in July 2009, this video shows the magnificent gothic cathedral in Burgos, Castilla Y Leon, Spain. Founded in 1221 by Bishop Don Mauricio, Burgos Cathedral is Spains third largest church. It was begun under the reign of Fernando III. The Latin cross architectural plan measures 82 metres long. Over three centuries, the construction of the cathedral was carried out in stages. Many of Europes greatest artists and architects were employed for the task.

Cantabria is a Spanish province and autonomous community with Santander as its capital city. It is bordered on the east by the Basque Autonomous Community (province of Biscay), on the south by Castile and León (provinces of León, Palencia and Burgos), on the west by the Principality of Asturias, and on the north by the Cantabrian Sea. Cantabria is the richest region in the world in archaeological sites from the Upper Paleolithic period. The first signs of human occupation date from Lower Paleolithic, although this period is not so well represented in the region. The most significant cave painting site is the cave of Altamira, dated from about 16000 to 9000 BC and declared, with other nine Cantabrian caves, World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Spanish is the official language of Cantabria. The eastern part of Cantabria contributed to the language's origins in a significant way. Cantabrian language, or Mountain language, is hardly preserved in the West of Cantabria and some zones of the Pas Valley and the Valley of Soba, in its Eastern zone. This language has neither regulation nor official recognition. Despite its small size, there are seven natural areas of undoubtable interest in this autonomous community: Picos de Europa National Park Collados del Asón Natural Park Santoña, Victoria and Joyel Marshes Natural Park Macizo de Peña Cabarga Natural Park Oyambre Natural Park Saja-Besaya Natural Park Dunes of Liencres Natural Park
