Segovia

The second must-do day trip from Madrid is the 30 minute AVE train ride to Segovia, which like Toledo, is also a World Heritage city. Segovia is well known for its ancient Aqueduct located at la Plaza de Azoquejo. It was built in the first or second century and is in perfect condition. This Roman aqueduct once transported water from a river in the mountains to the city. The Alcazar of Segovia and the elaborate Cathedral are both deserving of visits as well. Segovia is known for "cuchinillo" which is roast suckling pig. We didn't actually eat any, but every restaurant serves it. Even if you just google 'cuchinillo' Segovia comes up! Segovia was yet a again an appreciated day out of the capital. Pictures, pictures, pictures...
