About Segovia

Segovia enchants travelers with a stone skyline anchored by a monumental Roman aqueduct that once ferried water across the valley. Perched above the historic center, the fairy-tale Alcázar rises like a jewel of medieval Europe, while the soaring Gothic Segovia Cathedral adds graceful height to the panorama. Wander the narrow, cobbled lanes of the old town to discover Romanesque and Moorish influences, intimate tapas bars, and sweeping viewpoints that frame the surrounding valleys. Must-try experiences include cochinillo asado (roast suckling pig) and a sunset stroll along the aqueduct. A UNESCO-listed gem just a short ride from Madrid, Segovia rewards curiosity and appetite alike.
