Oct 3, 2009 - Segovia - October 3, 2009

While remaining in Madrid for the night before leaving to Seville tomorrow, we took a day trip to Segovia today. ... Although we are benefiting immensely from the Metro train in Madrid, both faster, more reliable, cleaner, and more timely than urban rail systems we have seen before, the AVE train we rode to Segovia from Madrid was a whole 'nother level. ... In Segovia, we viewed an amazing aqueduct built centuries ago without motar, a famous cathedral with fantastic stained glass, as well as a well known castle, which some rumor is the basis for Walt's castle in the Disney Kingdom. ...

Man those Romans were good, at least for a while. Smack dab in the middle of Segovia, a town a couple of hours north of Madrid, is a huge aqueduct as tall as a fairly tall building sitting across the landscape like a giant comb. ... The quick transfer in Madrid for Segovia went well, and we had a 45 minute walk to the hostel at the other end. ... The beds here are fantastic with fluffy duvets even! You get more in Spain for the same price as you do in Say France or Italy.Man those Romans were good, at least for a while.

Aug 14, 2006 - Splendid Segovia

We decided on a day trip out of Madrid and Segovia came up trumps. ... Segovia was a two hour train ride north of Madrid and is famous for its Roman Aqueduct and 13th-century fortress. ...
