Hola! Im an au pair in Burgos. I've spent 2 months now and I can say that is city can be the safest for everyone! It's a small city but surrounded by nature and nice people. You can easily find delicious food. You should definitely try Valor for churros and many local restraunts for launch. Villages are great in Burgos. You should definitely see some of them. City center is really small and you can see the museums and the cathedral in 2 days. I hope you enjoy your time in Burgos!

It is safe city where you can reach easily every part of the city. It is calm and peaceful. I would recommend to take normal precautions such as not leaving your bag open or unsupervised. Locals are usually willing to help you when needed.
