Where to stay in Torquemada
Torquemada is a small village, so accommodation options are limited right in town. Your best bet is to base yourself in Town Centre if you can find a rural guesthouse or casa rural locally, or look just up the road in Palencia City Centre, which is only around 20 kilometres away and has a solid choice of hotels.
Staying in Palencia means you can drive out to the Friday market easily and still have comfortable options for the night. It's a practical base for exploring this part of Castile and León without compromising on comfort.
