Gorgeous, historical Aqueduct of Segovia

If you’re going to Madrid, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is worth a visit too! About an hour or so away, one can conveniently purchase a bus ticket at the Madrid Moncloa station for maybe around 10 euros for a return ticket (I’m sorry I forgot the exact price but it was affordable!). And the bus takes you right to the centre of Segovia, which is great. From there, in just 10 minutes or so you can walk/stroll to this amazing, impressive aqueduct, very obviously the main feature of this town. It’s unmissable and even the main street leading up to it is named after it. Its grand and old and anything grand and old is worth looking at, in my opinion hahaha because hey, it’s been standing for ages. A little piece of history and culture, you know? #spain #segovia #madrid #holiday

National Geographic magazine's historic city "Segovia" Segovia In addition to the National Geographic magazine's favorite cathedral, there are also "big sink" and Snow White Castle, which are not to be missed. "Ancient Roman Waterway Bridge", also known as the "Big Sink", is the most majestic and best preserved Roman ruins on the Iberian Peninsula and a symbol of Segovia. Only the ancient Romans would turn a purely functional water pipeline into a great stone art. The waterway bridge is still guiding the running water, providing water for the locals, and small geckos crawling between the cracks. The Snow White Castle here is said to be the prototype of Disney Castle. There are many colorful windows in the castle of Queen Isabella of Spain. Isabella is a talented, energetic ruler who has sponsored Columbus to cross the Atlantic and promote Latin America. Her series of key decisions have influenced Spain and Latin America for several years. Under the joint governance of Isabella and Ferdinand, the kingdom of Spain, the national strength gradually increased. They also led the army to conquer the Arabs in the last power of the Iberian Peninsula, Granada (remember the Alhambra?), complete the great cause of Spanish reunification that the monarchs of all ages dreamed of, and laid the boundaries of today's Spain.

The landscape of Segovia is very interesting, with hills, cliffs, fields and snowy mountains. The castle is built on a cliff. The church is built in the ancient city of the hill. The church is bound by the church. The distant countryside and snow-capped mountains perfectly surround the town. Standing on the cliff's walkway outside the castle, you can see all the beautiful. everything of. day, immediately, it is overcast, and the black side is covered with the sky side, while the other side of the sun has no dark clouds, it seems to be the next heavy rain, but it seems to continue to enjoy Ancient remains bathe in the sun. The old town of Segovia is very small, walking and returning to the ancient Roman canal bridge from different directions. The different scenery in the sky is different. At this moment, the black background makes the entire ancient Roman canal bridge have different shocking power. May is uncertain, in the beautiful old city, sometimes cloudy and sunny, sometimes the sun is raining! Its so beautiful at the moment, the last time I saw the sun rain should be the time when I was playing in the mountains of Yunnan when I was young. is about 19 o'clock in the evening. It is a beautiful thing to stroll in the rain. I am glad that I am still strolling around the old city. A little rain feels like a stolen good. The rain only lasted for a while, and I continued to stroll through the brick red alley. Every corner wants to pat, every fork wants to go, always feels that there will be surprises in the corner, always reluctant to leave here, when you reach the end, there is a turn back to the fork that has not passed. ...

Square of Segovia

Plaza Mayor was built in the 17th century, the square was treated as the centre of the village, where vendors would install their stands, and citizens would socialize and meet. The town hall has been the building where the majority of Segovian events take place. Then toward the left of the town hall, there is the Cathedral known as Santa Maria de la Asuncion and San Frutos that was built between 1526 and 1577. The church of San Miguel collapsed in the year 1532 but was then rebuilt in the same place. Juan Bravo theater was built in 1917 and is still in use for both locals and tourists. At the end of the 19th century, the squares were filled with cafes, hotels and boutique shops. It has been the centre of the city for a long time, a meeting place for parties and public rejoicing events.

[Segovia - Plaza Mayor] Yes, Segovia also has a small square called Plaza Mayor, which is a miniature version of the Plaza Mayor in Madrid. The architectural style is also very similar. The first floor is the cloister, the middle is the residential area, and the top floor has two small towers. There is a clock that is still rotating in the middle of the two collapsed buildings. Like the life of the outside, the streets are full of dining tables and chairs. Like the life of the outside, the house has an open-air balcony. I like the life of the outside, I like the sun to tan yourself. I like the life of the outside, and now I am looking for a high-value open-air restaurant to spend the sun. One person can sit for an hour, don't worry about other things, maybe I can stay longer. After a cup of coffee, I ordered a glass of wine. The time was so wonderful and comfortable. The sun was breezy and the wine was delicious. This was a wonderful lunch time in Segovia.
