Our favorite thing would be the tennis court facility. The facility is kept up so well and we enjoy playing several times a week.

Q:  What DON’T people know about Palencia?

I would say that most people don’t realize that the fitness classes are included and you don’t have to be a member. They offer so many classes that are available 7 days a week.
