Segovia has life and history in one – the great cathedral and Alcazar are more than monuments but a lasting testimony to civilisations that have come after each other – building quite literally on the past achievements of others.
Its gastronomy invites to the savour its life in traditional taverns serving endless tapas washed down with fine local Castilian wine – its Asador estaurants legendary for its its signature dish of roast sucking pig.
We offer a full day tour including return coach or minibus transfers from Madrid ( allow around 45 minutes each way) – on arrval we do a panoramic tour around the walled old city before stopping at the Roman aquaduct to meet our local guide who will take you along its ancient cobbled streets through its Jewish quarter, hidden houses and monuments built commemorating Segovia´s long and rich history.
En-route we can stop for a delicious and traditional Castilian lunch with wine before completing the day with a walk along the medieval battlements and return to the waiting coach.
The route back can be the scenic route over the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range with an optional stop at the summer palace in La Granja whose charm is all of its own.
A full or half day tour can be arranged for a memorable day out from Madrid
