The joy of having a car is that you can travel where you want, when you want. Make the most of your newfound freedom by checking out all that there is to do in Palencia. It’s just 25 miles away. Cristo del Otero, Palencia Cathedral and Plaza de Toros alone justify the drive out here. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Ampudia, 30 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Church of Villerias Campos. (But we’d also recommend Museum of Sacred Art and Collegiate Church of San Miguel.)
