Palencia Hotels - Great Deals for Summer Travelers!Palencia is one of nine provinces that compose the autonomous region of Castile and Leon. Historically, aesthetically and culturally, Castile and Leon is the heartland of Spain. It is the region that shaped the nation's history. Its lofty central plains with open skies was frontier land, where castles and walled towns marked the slow push south of Christian forces in their struggle against the Moors. Spain's legendary hero, El Cid, was born here and was instrumental in the expulsion of the Moors from the region.
The capitals of all nine provinces were well established cities in the early middle Ages and each boasts a cathedral and scores of monasteries and convents from the past.
Spain is ringed with sand, rock, and seawater. That, coupled with almost year-round sunshine, has attracted many millions of visitors. Palencia is not an exception - beaches are one of the most memorable Palencia travel experiences for visitors from around the world.
