Leaving from Vega-Valdavia y Boedo-Ojeda

The centre and north of the province before the mountains: Saldaña, in the Carrión valley, and Herrera de Pisuerga, by the river and the Canal de Castilla. They are market towns serving many small villages, and depend on Palencia for the hospital and the train.

Which way it goes

Palencia is a long, narrow province: from the capital to Aguilar de Campoo is around an hour on the A-67, and Guardo is similar on slower roads. The most requested internal trips are from the north and Tierra de Campos into the capital — hospital, station — and between the capital and the towns of El Cerrato.

Catedral de Palencia (La Bella Desconocida), seen from Palencia

Palencia cathedral, Gothic and known as the Unknown Beauty, holds the crypt of San Antolín beneath the altar. It stands in the city centre, and traffic is limited in the surrounding streets, so it is best to agree on the drop-off point.

On arrival: Palencia capital

The city of Palencia, on the Carrión river, holds the hospital, the high-speed station, provincial government offices and most services. People come in daily from across the province for appointments and errands, and many connections with trains and with Valladolid start here.

When demand peaks

• San Antolín festivities (early September): The festivities of San Antolín, Palencia's patron saint, fill the capital in early September with concerts, bullfights and the opening of the cathedral crypt. Night-time returns to El Cerrato and the villages are the most in demand.
• Holy Week in Palencia (Easter week): The Holy Week processions wind through central Palencia and close streets for several days, at a time when many people are also leaving on holiday for Madrid and the Cantabrian coast.

Tip: From Aguilar de Campoo, consider Santander airport before Barajas: it is considerably closer and the A-67 goes straight there.
