We did a day trip with a private guide to Segovia to see the aqueduct which is one of the most well preserved elevated Roman aqueducts in the world. It is an engineering marvel built out of interlocking stones with no mortar. Built it in the 15th century it is difficult to imagine that it is still standing and as well preserved as it is today.
2. Alcazar of Segovia

Fortress of the Kings of Castile and Royal School of Artillery Its picture has been around the world: a unique fairy tale-like palace that brings together architectural tastes of different monarchs. It tells -to all those who come to know it- ancient palatial stories. Austere, as they were the Castilian kings, raised on the rock at the confluence of the valleys of the rivers Eresma and Clamores, the Alcazar seems to watch over the city. Its beautiful Tower keep, often compared to the bow of a boat sailing between the two rivers, is of a stunning beauty. Tourists are amazed to realize that the fortress is a living part of this Castilian city, chosen as a place of residence for many of the monarchs of the Trastamara dynasty.

Our tour guide took us here to this city, a UNESCO site, for a tour which included this beautiful castle in Segovia. It is said that Walt Disney used this castle as well as the Neuschwanstein castle in Germany as his inspiration for the castle at Disneyland, and we could see why! It is built high on what seems like a huge rocky formation with sheer dropoffs on many of the castle sides. The day we were there and outside looking over the edge, a sharp wind came up along with rain, and we had to be careful not to get blown away! We heard that they often have to close the terrace due to the high wind possibly blowing people over the edge down many feet below!! It is a great place to visit, and well worth the hour or so drive from Madrid.

Its like a miniature Versailles (palace) because the gardens are immense. It was a hunting lodge for the king.

We arrived early and walked the grounds for a few hours. We then paid to visit and do an audio tour of the palace. We did not know that the audio tour included the palace, gardens and chapel. We would recommend purchasing the palace and audio tour at the start . The palace and gardens are stunning as many others have reviewed. Allow at least 3-4 hours.

A beautiful place where nature over thousands of years has sculpted the layout of the river between steep walls. Where you can enjoy wildlife in the wild. The whole tour, whether walking or by boat, is a delight for the senses.

This little square makes an excellent place to pause the walk from the Aqueduct to the Plaza Mayor (and also in the reverse direction). The monument of Juan Bravo is on one side of the Plaza and the other side has the 12th century church of San Martin
10. Jardines de la Granja de San Ildefonso
