Segovía




















This morning Sandrine and I decided to go visit another city than Madrid, Segovía. This city is located on 90 km of Madrid near to the mountains. When we arrived there, we first looked for a restaurant because we were starving! Our need to eat made us chose the worst restaurant of the city, the food looked and tasted like it had been served to 20 other tourists already.

After this poor experience we started our visit to the old centre. The history of Segovía goes back to 80. before Christ when it was ruled by the Romans. After the Romans, the Moors took over the city until 1085, the moment that the Christians (on their turn) took over this beautiful city.



















Te most important monuments of Segovía are: The Roman Aquaduct ( 1st and 2nd century), the 16th century Cathedral and the 14th century Alcázar (a citadel from which you have a great view over the valley).
