Segovia town

 

Segovia Cathedral towers over the cafes.

Although the aqueducts of Segovia are the most well known attraction, Segovia is a charming little town with some stunning buildings most notably the Segovia Cathedral and Alcazar. The Alcazar is particularly stunning located on the edge of the city overlooking a cliff. There is a deep moat and a beautifully landscaped area in front of the grounds. It's has a distinctive and romantic shape and style paired with the location on a rocky crag make it a prototypical medieval scene (in my unscholary opinion.)

It's not a tiny town like Morella but had a similar feel with the main pedestrian rohad connecting the aqueducts to the cathedral being packed with touristy shops. It was a holiday weekend when we visited and it was very crowded though enjoyable due to the nice weather. The city is a great place to spend the day and a must do day trip from Madrid.
