If Palencia is a place of pilgrimage for lovers of Romanesque, the Roman Villa of La Olmeda is a must for those who love Roman art. A unique corner where you can immerse yourself in their habits of life, their art and their legacy. Located in the Palencia municipality of Pedrosa de la Vega, just one hour from our Finca, it is a must to dive into the art and way of life of 2000 years ago.

Festival de órgano ibérico en Palencia 2017
One more year we love to inform of the celebration of the Festival of Organ of Palencia, held between July 16th and August 18th. These organs represent one of the main attractions of the artistic heritage of the region: most of them are Baroque from the S-XVIII, and have unique characteristics that make up the “Iberian organ” , very different from those we see in the rest of Europe. Palencia conserves some extraordinary examples, and it also is the occasion to know these wonderful churches, distributed by all the province.
