Well, it's not exactly complete (no shots of the river, nothing of my school, my apartment, the cafe where I hang out far too much, the Parque Salon...) but may I present: a brief and abridged walk through Palencia.
(Now with 100% more pictures!)
The Plaza Mayor at twilight during a rare pause in raucous games of tag
Calle Mayor, 1. A Sunday afternoon, when no one is out. Any morning or evening the street is packed with people participating in the habitual "paseo" (walking) before or after meals. Here you can also see 'La Gorda'
Calle Mayor, 2, the section near the bus station.
El Cristo Otero, one of two Jesus Christ statues completed by Victorio Macho (the other one being the famous statue over Rio de Janeiro). Supposedly the second biggest in the world after its Rio brother
The view over Palencia from the Otero (which we climbed one Sunday afternoon when everything was closed)
The famous Palencia Cathedral. Unfortunately none of the photos I took of the storks that live on the spires came out well.
A blurred but lovely shot of the Plaza around the cathedral at dusk
View of the city from my 7th floor apartment balcony
