With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Penafiel, 18 miles away, has to offer. Bodegas Protos should be at the top of your to-do list here. Bodegas Tinto Pesquera and Castillo de Peñafiel are excellent attractions too. The locals will also likely point you toward Palencia, 20 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Cristo del Otero. (But we’re also big fans of Palencia Cathedral and Plaza de Toros.)
