The gothic Cathedral Basilica of Saint Antoninus, dedicated to Saint Antonius of Pampers, is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe (130m x 42m high x 50m wide) similar in size to Cathedral of Reims, and Notre Dame de Paris. It is generally known as “the unknown beauty" because it is not as well known as other Spanish cathedrals, though it has works of art of great value, including a fabulous El Greco: the martyrdom of St. Sebastian from 1579. A curiosity are the stork nests on the tower, so you are constantly followed by the characteristic noisy bill-clattering, which appears to be distant machine gun fire.

Very impressive and interesting cathedral! Entry is 6 Euros but it is definitely worth it. Being Spain's 3rd biggest cathedral, it offers countless chapels with richly decorated altairs, several choirs, two big naves, a transept and catacombs. The condition is surprisingly good due to excellent maintenance.

Very nice building It is worth to look at it from different angles We didn't go in, but situated next to the university and yet in a quiet and peaceful area

Despite the ghastly bling bling in the side chapels and altar this is a rather lovely building. The choir is magnificent on the outside and the organ is fantastic. Great stonework throughout. The small gallery of artwork is well worth a visit, some nice works including a rather homoerotic San Sebastian by El Greco which could have been painted this century.

We enjoyed the guided tour at noon. The guide was very competent and spoke in a clear Spanish. Even if you do not speak Spanish most visitors will enjoy the tour.

Look Up! Marvel the magnificent gargoyles! And don’t forget to photograph the photographer and see the Aliens Xenomorphs!!!!

A really unexpected surprise in Palencia. The province being the realm of the Romanesque, I expected its cathedral to be this style, too. Instead, we came across a fantastic Gothic temple which, unfortunately, we could not visit because it was being restored. We at least enjoyed the awesome exterior.

Great tapas place in the center of Palencia. They have very good ingredients

(Translated by Google) In addition to everyone being super friendly, the food is very good and the price can't be beat. Every day they have a menu with unique dishes (you can't choose between several), with a drink, bread and dessert for 6 euros. I ate cooked food that was available on Sunday and it was delicious and a good quantity; for dessert a yogurt. Of course you couldn't ask for more. Besides, if you don't feel like the dish that's on that day, you have many options at a minimum price (torreznos, mushrooms, Moorish skewers, sandwiches...). It is very central and has a good atmosphere. I recommend it 100% and I will return for sure!! (Original) Además de ser todos superamables, la comida es muy buena y el precio inmejorable. Todos los días tienen un menú con platos únicos (no puedes elegir entre varios), con bebida, pan y postre por 6 euros. Yo he comido cocido que había el domingo y estaba riquísimo y buena cantidad; de postre un yogur. Desde luego que no se puede pedir más. A parte, si no te apetece el plato que haya ese día, tienes muchas opciones a un precio mínimo (torreznos, champiñón, pinchos morunos, bocadillos...). Está muy céntrico y tiene buen ambiente. Lo recomiendo 100% y volveré seguro!!

(Translated by Google) A quintessential neighborhood spot, small and family-friendly, with a wide variety of delicious meats and, what I personally find excellent, the sandwiches. The sandwiches, both to take away and to eat there, are filling and incredibly enjoyable. In addition, the various tapas dishes featuring a variety of meats typical of the area make eating here a pleasant experience. The not-so-good thing about this place is that the atmosphere (literally, smoke from the food being prepared) may not be suitable for sensitive people. It's a place that, as delicious as it is, can give the impression of being greasy and unhygienic. However, if you're not modest, it's a delicious, inexpensive, and wonderfully enjoyable place. (Original) Sitio de barrio por excelencia, pequeño, familiar, con una amplia variedad de carnes ricas y, lo que a título personal son excelentes, los bocadillos. Bocadillos tanto para llevar como para comer allí son de esos bocadillos que llenan la tripa y se disfruta una barbaridad. Además de eso, distintas tapas de carnes varias típicas de la zona hacen de comer aquí una agradable experiencia. Lo no tan bueno de este local es que la atmósfera (literal, humo de las comidas que se preparan) puede ser no apta para personas sensibles. Es un sitio que, con lo rico que esta, puede dar sensación de graso y falto de higiene. No obstante, si uno no es pudoroso, es un sitio riquísimo, barato y que se disfruta a las mil maravillas.

A bit disappointed! Remember we had a very nice meal with tapas dishes in the terrace before. For the tasting menu, I only like the appetizers.

Probably the best meal I've had in 3 or 4 visits. Was good first few times but has kept improving.

We were expecting more after reading some of the reviews but the menu didn't have much choice, the empenadillas were full of water and the outdoor area was quite littered with serviettes and other waste items from the tables.

We sat outside and enjoyed typical "para compartir" lunch. Try the empanadias 🥟 they are great.

Went for lunch, menu very limited, mostly bar food that's dressed-up and trying to be fashionable. Service friendly but much more involved with making the scene than actually serving food. House Ribera del Duero was very good.

My husband and I are new to Palencia but heard great things about Ajo de sopas so we knew we wanted to try it. Many thanks to our server that was so patient with our lack of Spanish and went above and beyond to make sure we understood what each dish was in English. She was attentive throughout the night and made our experience even better. We did the tasting menu and were blown away by the creativity and flavors. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and will most definitely be back. Thank you Ajo de sopas for the beautiful night!

No soup!!! So we had a drink and left.

A central restaurant with an outdoor terrace, an indoor tapas area and a formal restaurant hidden in the back, a traditional decor with good service, an extensive menu and excellent wine card with fair prices. We were a group of 5 that had 3 starters including a delicious revuelta de morcilla, a couple of solomillos and very tender lechezas with 2 good red from Ribeiro de Duero, waters and coffees for €50/pax.

No problem with the food, or the initial service at the bar. I ordered a caña zero & tortilla. I took the food out to the terrace myself, not a complaint, just a fact. Then the waiter appears & gives me my bill at the table. Again no problem with this as other establishments do this then give you a new bill as you re-order. He just stood there & made no move to leave me to have my food & drink in peace. In the end I just paid him. Very strange attitude & not encountered in any other establishment. The cana was one of the more expensive ones at €3.30 that I've had here.

The food is passable, worse quality, service and place than the old Traserilla. Price quality relation poor.

3 staff on no body bothered to take our order. Left. Tables dirty

food quality, quite slow serving at restaurant

Friendly, hospitable and great food.

Excellent food again

Impressive sculpture of Victorio Macho with 21 meters high. You can visit the interpretation center for free but check the schedule since it's not open every day.

It is said that the statue of Christ is the second largest . But the sculpting was not pleasing. A new museum has been set up on the history. It is located on a hallock. Nice physical work out. Can reach via private vehicle and then take a walk. A good view to the neighboring settlements

Great views right outside the old town. Peaceful and quiet

It was totally worth going up to see el Cristo. Awesome vibes and views. Museum wasn’t open but it was still worth going.

Amazing place, quite with excellent view of Palencia

Really should not allow cars up. But fantastic view when up there and stunning statue

Really close to Palència, worth a visit.

Went for my birthday. No table available without reservation inside but plenty outside. Had the Fish and Chips (which I'd been craving - I'm a Brit, what can I say.) Although not terribly "traditional" (Fish in pieces and not a full fillet, chips round rather that the usual oblong, no salt and vinegar, lemon or tartar sauce) the batter was outstanding and the fish fresh and tasty. Chips too. On a previous occasion I'd had the tacos, which were also pretty good (although as a Brit I can't comment on how "authentic" it was.)

(Translated by Google) It's a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal with excellent preparation. The food presentation is perfect, the portions are just right, and the flavor is delicious—in other words, a wonderful meal. The waiters' service is excellent. They're attentive and come by the table to ask if everything is okay and if everything is to the diner's liking. The service isn't 10/10, but it's close. Excellent quality and price. The restaurant is pleasant. The atmosphere is pleasant, comfortable, and you can talk quietly. It's quiet. It's a good restaurant to enjoy the food, be at ease in good company, and have a quiet conversation. (Original) Es un buen restaurante donde poder disfrutar de una buena comida con buena elaboración. La presentación de la comida es perfecta la cantidad es justa, con un buen sabor, es decir, una comida estupenda. La atención de los camareros es excelente están atentos pasan por la mesa para preguntar si todo va bien si todo está al gusto del comensal una atención no vamos a decir de 10, pero casi. Calidad, precio excelente. El restaurante es agradable. Hay buen ambiente es cómodo se puede hablar tranquilamente no hay ruido. Es un buen restaurante para disfrutar de la comida, estar a gusto con buena compañía y tener una conversación tranquilo .

(Translated by Google) Good food at a good price and unbeatable service from the staff. They also guide you on how much to order, which is appreciated. They don't limit you like other places do, so you can order more and more even though you know there will be leftovers. In short, if you want good food at a good price, this is the ideal place to spend a good evening. We will definitely return. (Original) Buena comida a buen precio y un trato inmejorable por parte de los trabajadores, además te guían sobre la cantidad a la hora pedir y eso es de agradecer, no se limitan como en otros sitios a qué pidas y pidas aún sabiendo que va a sobrar. En pocas palabras, si quieres comer bien y a buen precio, es el lugar idóneo para pasar una buena velada, nosotros sin duda volveremos.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant facing the park, a lovely place with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The waitresses were excellent, very friendly and professional. We had a drink and one of the six beers on tap. They also give you a tapa with your drink. They also have a nice outdoor terrace facing the park. A very good option, sure to impress. (Original) Restaurante frente al parque, un bonito local con un ambiente cálido y agradable. La atención de las camareras inmejorable, muy simpáticas y profesionales. Tomamos una copa y una de las cervezas de grifo de las seis de que disponen. Te ponen una tapa con la consumición. También tienen una buena terraza exterior frente al parque. Una muy buena opción, no te dejará indiferente.

(Translated by Google) We had dinner on the terrace—when we could—because one waiter for an entire terrace, larger than it was small—well, that meant waiting to order, waiting for them to clean, waiting for drinks, waiting for food... What can I say about the F A C K ​​food they gave us? A rack of ribs that was NOT cooked AT ALL from the grill, I REPEAT, COOKED, with traces of tomato sauce because it was reddish water... truly inedible... 🤷‍♂️ with reddish water... (Original) Cenamos en la terraza -cuando pudimos- porque un camarero para toda una terraza más grande que pequeña- pues eso esperar para pedir, esperar para que limpien esperar para las Bebidas, esperar para la comida…. Que decir de la C A C A de comida que nos dieron. Un costillar que de la brasa NADA DE NADA estaba cocido REPITO COCIDO con restos de salsa de tomate porque era agua de color rojo… una auténtica cosa incomestible…🤷‍♂️ con agua de color rojo..

(Translated by Google) We ordered two plates of food, and clearly they made a mistake on one and brought another. We asked for a change, and the waiter rudely told us it was a lie. He was completely wrong, since we didn't even know the name of what he had brought by mistake. The worst part isn't whether or not he made a mistake, it's the waiter's rudeness. The food was a 7, but the service was a 0. Late and poor. (Original) Pedimos dos platos de comida, claramente en uno se equivocaron y trajeron otro, pedimos el cambio y el camarero nos vino a decir, de malos modos que era mentira. Sin tener razón alguna pues no sabíamos ni cómo se llamaba lo que había traído por error. Lo peor ya no es equivocarse o no, es los malos modos del camarero. Comida un 7, pero servicio un 0. Tarde y mal.

(Translated by Google) The portions are very generous. The service is exceptional. The food is very well made. (Original) Doses muito bem servidas. O atendimento é excepcional. Muito boa confecao

Nice location, kind girl who served me, good food but a bit much expensive

Top!

Eee

(Translated by Google) A meal for four, very well served and served. We really enjoyed it. The food was excellent, with a well-balanced daily menu, commensurate with its price of €24. The stuffed peppers were very good, and the chicken escalope was well cooked and presented. The desserts were also very good and homemade. A good place to return. Important: the restaurant is in a basement, accessible by a 10-step walk. (Original) Comida para cuatro muy bien atendida y servida. Nos ha gustado mucho. La comida excelente con un menú del día bien equilibrado, acorde a su precio de 24€. Los pimientos rellenos muy buenos y el escalope de pollo bien cocinado y presentado. Los postres tb muy buenos y caseros. Buen lugar para repetir. Importante: el restaurante está en un sótano al que se baja por unos 10 peldaños.

(Translated by Google) We decided on this restaurant based on traveler recommendations and reviews, and we were delighted. The food was top-quality. They have a Monday-Friday menu (€22) and everything is delicious. We went downstairs to the dining room, where the temperature is fantastic, and we had a wonderful meal. Carlos took excellent care of us and kindly explained the dishes to us. (Original) Nos decidimos por este restaurante por las recomendaciones de unos viajeros y por las reseñas y hemos salido encantados. Una comida con de calidad. Tienen menú de lunes a viernes (22€) y está todo muy bueno. Nos bajaron abajo que está el salón, tiene una temperatura fenomenal y hemos comido estupendamente. Carlos que nos ha atendido muy bien y amablemente nos ha explicado los platos.

(Translated by Google) We arrived an hour late because of a mishap on the way, and they kept our table for us the whole time. The manager, or owner, was very kind to us. Everything was delicious, thank you for everything. (Original) Llegamos una hora tarde porque tuvimos un percance de camino y nos guardaron la mesa en todo momento. El encargado o dueño, fue muy amable con nosotros. Estaba todo buenísimo, gracias por todo.

(Translated by Google) We had dinner last night, and besides being treated wonderfully, everything was delicious. I understand the reputation of their bravas because they may be some of the best I've ever eaten...in fact, we had seconds. Highly recommended! (Original) Estuvimos anoche cenando y además de tratarnos genial estaba todo riquísimo. Entiendo la fama de sus bravas porque pueden ser de las más buenas que he comido nunca...de hecho repetimos la ración. Muy recomendable!

If you're non Spanish tourist avoid! You are charged a minimum €1.50 extra for each drink rounds. The servers make up the price the till says €6 you are charged €7.50. Next time a tapas €3.50 & beer charged €9.... Queried it and server made up prices IE beer €5.50...scammers AVOID

A nice place between the local people of Palencia to take some wine or beer with those tipical "tapa". Nice ambiance.

Good food, nice atmosphere, very slow service

Highly recommendable both the daily menu and the pulled pork burgers.

Very nice restaurant specialising in delicious local dishes.

Excellent food, drinks, and staff.

Great place for lunch and beers

Whole roasted lamb for 2 or if you are really hungry for one is worth trying. This is true if you are fan of the meat as it's more "smelly" than pork or beef.

Nice people, great atmosphere,excellent quality of the dishes. As a Vegan, i was served the most amazing oak wood grilled vegetables. Ny friends praised the seafood dishes. English and French language menus. Personnel is friendly and speaks English as well. Highly recommended.

The best place to have a delicious lunch or dinner in Palencia especially if you are looking for meats and seafood. Alberto was our server and he was extremely good and loves His job. It was such a delight to watch him and interact with him. And he gave us complimentary bites as well. The menu is available in English and French apart from Spanish. Lovely interiors which partitions well between the dining area and the bar.

Great service, excellent food. The waiters are very friendly and know their job

Nice one

You must have the Tortilla

Bona gent i bon ambient
