Presentation of Busto de Bureba

The municipality of Busto de Bureba (189 inhabitants in 2012; 1,856 ha; municipal website) is located in the east of the Province of Burgos, 55 km from Burgos.

Busto was mentioned for the first time in 1054. The proposed etymologies for the name of the village are "burned place" or the local name of a tree species. Once part of the alfoz (group of villages) of Pancorbo, Busto was transferred to Navarre by King Sancho III. In the 12th century, Busto was often mentioned in the archives of the San Salvador monastery of Oña and of the Burgos cathedral.
