With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Castrojeriz, 19 miles away, has to offer. Monastery of San Anton Ruins, Convent of Santa Clara and Church of Santo Domingo alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t skip Palencia either! Just 19 miles away, Cristo del Otero, Palencia Cathedral and Plaza de Toros are non-negotiable stops here.
