With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Castrojeriz, 16 miles away, has to offer. Monastery of San Anton Ruins, Convent of Santa Clara and Church of Santo Domingo alone justify the drive. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Palencia, 18 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Cristo del Otero. (But we’re also huge fans of Palencia Cathedral and Plaza de Toros.)
