Sergovia acueduct. Built by the Romans 2000 years ago.

Segovia Cathedral built around the 17th century, taking around 120 years to complete.


Just part of Segovia's Cathedral from the inside.

A church and gardens in Segovia.

The Alcazar, Segovia. Apparently Disneyland in California modelled its castle on this.

The city walls looking down on the river.
Thursday 24th April

A showery morning so we decided to push further south but not quite as far as Madrid. I’d  read some where that Segovia was a pretty little city so we headed there. We were restricted to one campsite a non ACSI site 2 miles outside the city. It took us about half an hour to walk into the city and what a pleasant surprise. After a series of hail showers the sun came out and we took in the Cathedral and the 2000 year old Roman aqueduct, built with stone blocks and no mortar or cement. What a fabulous afternoon and because it wasn’t a fiesta we got some supplies from a supermarket and managed to find a bar selling draught San Miguel Selecta.
Camping ‘El Acueducto’ is again a good site in a quiet location, the cost for our stay was 24 euros a night. There was a motorhome parking area about a mile closer to the city on the left.
