Day Trip to Segovia

Today, some of us hopped on the high speed train (144 mph at one point) and headed 30 minutes north of Madrid to the historic city of Segovia. Here's what we saw:


On the train in the morning (Look ma: pictures with people in them!)

The Roman Aqueduct the city is famous for. Built c. 100 A.D., the aqueduct brought water from the local mountains down into the city.

Plaza Mayor, the center of the city.

Very narrow streets are common here.

The Segovia Cathedral. Beau-ti-ful!

I love the inside of cathedrals (and taking undercover pictures of them).

The walls of Segovia. Not an easy place to attack back in the day.

The Alcázar (castle) of Segovia.

Look ma: Me in a picture!

Looking down to where the castle's moat once was.

Inside of the castle. Nice ceilings, eh?

Little men and little women on the top of the walls.

Close up of said little men and little women.

Art on the walls.

Art on the windows.

Throne room--doesn't look too comfortable though.

Very cool collection of weapons and armor.

Cannon!

The nearby mountains on a clear but very cold day.

A nice little trip for sure. That's all for now folks. Until later, hasta luego.
