Segovia

Today we visited Segovia, about an hour outside of Madrid. It was a strong hold of Ferdinand and Isabella and we even got to see the small chapel where Isabella was crowned queen. We first visited the Roman aqueducts, made without any mortar and still perfect after 2,000 years. We also saw the main cathedral, built in the late gothic style after the first one was burned in an uprising against King Charles. Lastly, we visited the castle for which Segovia is famous. It is rumored to be the castle that Disney’s Sleeping Beauty is based on and its really impressive on the outside but less so on the inside.

Tomorrow I’m off to Valencia to see Lennox!
