Palencia Province: The Forgotten Corner of Castilla y Leon
Palencia province sits in the north of the Castilla y Leon community, traversed by the Carrion and Pisuerga rivers. Approximately 162,000 people live here, with the capital Palencia city accounting for about 78,000. The city's Gothic cathedral, known locally as "La Bella Desconocida" (The Beautiful Unknown), contains one of Spain's finest collections of Flemish tapestries. Palencia often appears on lists of Spain's most underrated cultural destinations, overshadowed by neighbours like Burgos and Valladolid.
The province played a significant role in the Reconquista and preserves a wealth of Romanesque churches along the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, which crosses the province from east to west. The Canal de Castilla, an 18th-century waterway originally built for grain transport, runs through the province and is now a cycling and walking route. Aguilar de Campoo, in the mountainous north, is known for its biscuit factory (Galletas Gullon) and its position as a gateway to the Montaña Palentina region. The escort market in Palencia is among the smallest in Spain, reflecting the province's low population. Any demand centres on the capital. Escortservice.com lists verified escort websites.
