If you’re looking for a special plan for Valentine’s Day in Palencia, this month is perfect for leisurely strolls, discovering hidden gems and celebrating love with no rush.

Fall in love with La Bella Desconocida

Picture yourselves starting the day hand in hand in front of Palencia Cathedral, affectionately known as La Bella Desconocida – the Unknown Beauty. Its imposing Gothic façade welcomes those seeking more than a visit: a moment to treasure. Walking through its silent interior, surrounded by solemn stone and light, is a ritual for the senses, offering a glimpse of the wonders that lie within this charming corner of Castilla.

Discover the heart of Palencia

Just steps away, the elegant Calle Mayor awaits. This historic thoroughfare, flanked by arcades and graceful buildings, is a dream for couples. Between little shops, traditional cafés and glowing window displays, every stop becomes an excuse to share a smile. The calm rhythm of this street captures the hearts of those who walk it—especially when shared with someone special.

Let yourselves be charmed by the legend of El Cid

History weaves its own path through the Church of San Miguel, said by some to be the very place where El Cid himself was married—according to local legend. While the line between myth and reality may blur, there’s no doubt that this building’s architecture and aura make it a perfect spot for a romantic photo or a quiet moment before continuing your route.

Huerta de Guadián and Parque del Salón: love at first sight

If you’re in search of nature and soft winter light, a walk through Huerta de Guadián or the Parque del Salón is just the thing. In the colder months, these green spaces take on a peaceful calm, inviting long conversations, slow steps, and the comfort of good company with the sound of the breeze whispering through bare branches. Every step becomes a memory worth holding onto.

Canal de Castilla: a landscape that enchants

For a truly unique experience, enjoy a boat ride along the Canal de Castilla. Calm waters, hushed banks and the low winter sun make this journey an intimate moment, perfect for admiring old bridges, stone aqueducts and timeless landscapes that look like something out of a painting.

A romantic dinner to toast your love

After so many magical moments, nothing beats sharing a meal at the Hotel Castilla Vieja’s restaurant, the perfect place to taste the authentic cuisine of Palencia.
