Aguilar de Campoo Tourist Office

The Aguilar de Campoo Tourist Office is the municipal office, which also works as a Tourist Initiatives Centre. It is at paseo de la Cascajera, 10, beside the river Pisuerga. It gives information on the town, the northern Palencia Romanesque route and the Las Loras Geopark, and has the opening hours of the churches, which change by season.

Hours

In summer, from 1 July to 6 September, it opens Monday to Thursday from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00, and Friday to Sunday from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00. The rest of the year it does not publish fixed hours, so call beforehand on 979 12 36 41 or write to [email protected].

What they can sort out for you

The most useful thing is organising the Romanesque route. The village churches stay closed almost all year, and the office explains which have fixed hours and which have to be requested in advance through the Artepalencia Romanesque visits. According to the Junta's November 2026 sheet, in Aguilar itself the collegiate church of San Miguel opens Monday to Saturday morning and afternoon and Sunday mornings, and Santa Cecilia Wednesday to Sunday, with afternoons only on Fridays and Saturdays. Both cost €2.

They also guide you on the Las Loras Geopark, with its canyons and limestone moorlands. Its interpretation centre, the Karst Centre, opens in autumn on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00, and on Sunday mornings, and costs €1. And they tell you how to see the European bison reserve.

What to see in Aguilar

From the office, on foot, you can climb to the castle and tour the old quarter, with the arcaded Plaza de España, the collegiate church and the church of Santa Cecilia. On the outskirts, beside the Pisuerga, is the monastery of Santa María la Real. Between 13 September and 8 December it opens Tuesday to Friday afternoons and at weekends and on public holidays also in the morning, with guided visits at fixed times; the general guided visit costs €7.50. In winter, from 9 December to 14 March, guided visits require a reservation.

Where to eat and sleep

On avenida Ronda is the Valentín Restaurant, and in the monastery itself, the Posada Santa María la Real, with hotel and restaurant. If you are travelling with a backpack, the Goina Hostel is the hostel option. If you go out of season, remember that many hours are reduced: Monday and Tuesday are the days with the fewest monuments open.
