Where to stay in Saldaña
Saldaña is a small town, so accommodation options are limited, but staying in town centre puts you within easy walking distance of the Bean Fair and everything going on around it. Booking early is a good idea, especially during the fair itself when rooms fill up fast.
If you prefer more choice, the nearby city of Palencia is around 45 minutes away and has a broader range of hotels to suit different budgets, making it a practical base if you plan to explore the wider province too.
