Segovia

It is a shame that I had not been before to the beautiful city of Segovia. It is really near from Madrid (you can make it in just a day trip), and has many nice spots… Apart, of course, from its wonderful cochinillo.

The roman aqueduct is just spectacular. It has around 2000 years, and it is still “up” (not running, though). You cannot imagine anything built today which is able to last that long time… but the romans made it 18 centuries ago… Impressive that it has survived till our days.

The alcázar is also nice to visit. It is said that Walt Disney got inspired by this alcázar when designing “his castle”. It is quite similar, but I think Neuschwanstein in the south of Germany was the real source of inspiration.

And, of course, as almost any city in Spain, it has lots of churches, and has one of the biggest cathedrals of the country.
