I will be visiting Palencia from September 1 to 5 and want to get information on the activities during the feria. Is there a web site for information?
I am afraid I only found it in spanish, as Palencia is not much a tourist city

It is on the 2nd September. Hope you enjoy your trip around Castilla la vieja.
A friend of mine also visited some castles on the area and had some medieval banquets ... she was in palencia, but I do not remeber more, sorry
There is an official web page in http://www.palenciadigital.com/sanantolin/ (only in Spanish)
By the moment, it has only the program of the past festivities (2002).
The Christening of Child Jesus is on January 1,in the afternoon.A religious parade take place around San Miguel church while the old carol "Ea" is sung.After that and as an old tradition (XVI Century) are thrown sweets on to the people.
Los Maestros del románico además de las imágenes y de los Santos de sus iglesias nos quisieron decir muchas cosas con los símbolos que usaban en todas sus construcciones , tanto a la hora de diseñar y orientar los templos , como con el uso de los números y las veces que representaban las cosas y en las representaciones que hacían en sus templos de animales ( leones , palomas , ranas...) , de vegetales ( calabazas , frutas , hojas ,...)y seres extraordinarios ( Arpías , dragones , sirenas ...)

La catedral de San Antolín no es una de las " famosas"catedrales de España , por eso es una auténtica sorpresa encontrársela y ver su grandiosidad y las obras maestras que contiene
Aunque la fábrica actual es gótica , conserva restos de sus antecesores visigodas y románicas .En la cripta está la parte visigótica que se hizo para conservar las reliquias de San Antolín y la parte románica con un techo muy curioso
San Antolín Cathedral is not one of the "famous" Spanish cathedrals , for this reason it is a real surprise to meet it and to see its grandeur and the master pieces that keeps
Even the actual construction is Gothic , it keeps remains of its previous costructions as Visigoth and Romanesque .In the crypt there is a Visigoth part that it was built to keep San Antolín relics and the Romanesque part with a very peculiar roof
Una familia lleva más de 5 generaciones cuidando y mimando esta iglesia y es un placer cuando uno de ellos te explica la historia , las anécdotas y todos los detalles de la iglesia para que por un rato te puedas sentir parte del pasado medieval
Es una iglesia construida en la primera mitad del siglo XII, de una sola nave en dos tramos, que se cubren con bóveda de crucería cisterciense y cúpula con trompas
¡Ojo! tienen dos casas rurales que puede ser una opción
5 generations of a family have been Taking care of this church and it is a real pleasure when one of them explains you the story , the anecdotes and all the church details in that for a while you may feel part of the medieval past
It is a church built on the first half of the X!! century , of a single bay in two stretches with a vault of Cister crossing and a dome with "trompas"
