Segovia is a beautiful city in Spain. It is a little over an hour away from Madrid by bus. It is a very old walled city, it has a beautiful castle that was the inspiration for the castle in Disney's Sleeping Beauty! It is also known for its roman aqueduct, a beautiful cathedral and roast suckling pig. I had the pig and it was delicious! We also went to la Granja, an awesome huge garden with a bunch of trees flowers and fountains.
This is by the entrance to the Castle Alcázar
King and Queen chairs inside
The ceilings in the castle were all really beautifully carved and gold.
Looking down from the top of the castle
On top of the tower, we had to climb a bunch of stairs to get up here, it felt never ending, but it was worth it!
Going down the stairs with Becca
This is the pig that has been cooking for hours, what the man is about to do is take that plate and cut the pig with it, he cuts it into like 8 pieces and then smashes the skull and breaks the plate on the ground. It was kind of hard seeing the food I was eating in its original state right before it was on my plate.
Part of the baby roast suckling pig, I got the leg, It was soo good
The roman aqueduct used to move water from one side of the city to the other, it was built with large blocks of granite allined with mortar
This is the castle that was inspiration for Walt Disney
This is the beautiful cathedral
This is a picture inside of La Granja
I really liked Segovia and would recommend anyone to visit there, its so old and beautiful with so many awesome things!
