With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Medina de Rioseco, 18 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Canal de Castilla, Museo de Semana Santa and Montealegre de Campos Castle. Don’t miss Palencia either! Just 19 miles away, Cristo del Otero, Palencia Cathedral and Plaza de Toros are non-negotiable stops here.
