PROGRAM OVERVIEWThe Arts of Spain: Architecture, Painting, Bullfighting, and FlamencoThis program explores the multiple legacies of Spanish art.
The arrival of the Romans, Greeks, Arabs, and North Europeans shaped Spain’s diverse architecture
The traces of Arab art in Christian monuments proclaim Spain’s multicultural profile.
The works of painters like El Greco, Velázquez, Picasso and Dalíare shaped by their cultural heritage.
Two of the most emblematic manifestations of Spanish culture that we will explore—flamenco dance and bullfighting—owe their features to this plural past.

The 46 Places to Go in 2013
Burgos, in Castile-León, is home to a spired Gothic cathedral that is a UNESCO World Heritage site. That striking building used to be the town’s only compelling attraction, but in recent years Burgos has become a well-rounded destination with contemporary cultural centers (the Museum of Human Evolution) and boutique hotels (Via Gótica). At the same time a new group of talented chefs has given it a dynamic dining scene that is finally allowing the city, recently chosen as Spain’s gastronomic capital for 2013, a chance to showcase its homegrown delicacies. Some of them, blood sausages with roasted peppers and grilled lechazo, or baby lamb, are on offer at Casa Ojeda, a 100-year-old restaurant now run by the young Pablo Cófreces. Recent openings like Fábula and La Galeria focus on innovative versions of these classics, which pair wonderfully with the powerful reds of nearby Ribera del Duero. — Paola Singer
