Alar del Rey was founded in the 15th century and stands out for its parish church of Nuestra Señora del Carmen, in neo-Romanesque style with a modernist tower. The town offers an impressive landscape environment thanks to the Canal de Castilla and the Pisuerga River. In addition, it is close to places of interest such as Peña Amaya, the Palencia Mountain and the Unesco World Geopark las Loras.
