La Valdivia, Natural region in northern Palencia, Spain

La Valdivia extends along the upper basin of the Pisuerga River at the foothills of the Cantabrian Mountains, covering 370 square kilometers.

The region received significant recognition when Aguilar de Campoo, its main town, obtained Royal Charter status in 1255 as the first royal town of Castile.

The territory maintains strong connections to medieval times through Aguilar de Campoo, where the Marquesado title continues through descendant families.

The region connects to major transportation routes including the N-611 road, A-67 motorway, and the Palencia-Santander railway line.

The construction of Aguilar reservoir in 1973 transformed the landscape, creating a large water body that modified the regional geography.
