The municipality of Páramo de Boedo (97 inhabitants in 2009; 2,276 ha)
is located 70 km from Palencia. The municipality is made of the villages
of Páramo (capital), Villaneceriel de Boedo (15 inh.) and
Zorita del Páramo (39 inh.).
Páramo de Boedo got its name from Latin paramos, "a flat land", and river Boedo, watering the municipality. Villaneceriel could have been "Nazariel's estate". Zorita means "a forest dove of blue color".
