Palencia and the rest of the world

Palencia, with P, is the city where I come from. And I feel very proud of it! But the "palentinos", when we are abroad, we always have the same problem: "No no, it is not Valencia, it is Palencia, with P". The same conversation over and over again. But it is worthy. Then they ask me where it is, and I can talk about St. James' Way, the Christ, our romanic churches, our beautiful lakes and mountains at the north, the "lechazo", the "menestra" and the wine. A city and province big enough to find things to do, small enough to be welcoming and cosy, remarkable part of spanish history, culture and tradition; maybe not as famous and touristic as Valencia, but charming in its own way.

¡Viva Palencia!
