Crossed by the Pisuerga River, the beautiful town of Aguilar de Campoo is considered the capital of the Palencia Romanesque and is the ideal access gateway to the Palentina Mountain.
Cross the threshold of some of its heritage jewels and enjoy admiring the Monastery of Santa María la Real, the Collegiate Church of San Miguel, the hermitage of Santa Cecilia or the castle, declared a Historic-Artistic Monument since 1949. Walk through the urban fabric of the fortified and enjoy its streets full of palatial houses, its arcaded squares or its Jewish quarter.
Breathe deeply and fill yourself with the aroma of cookies that has permeated its streets since the 19th century, when the Zamorano confectioner José Gullón Barrio founded Galletas Gullón in 1892.
