This time, the extended (see gallery :-) we went to Segovia, north of Madrid in the foothills of the Guadarrama mountains. Height 1000 m above sea level means that there will be colder than in Madrid, the first feelings were positive, but at the end of the day everyone was looking for just the warm shelter.
First off was an aqueduct - it was a little bit and it's in good shape ... the only question is how they are built without mortar? Up the stairs, through the gate and we are behind the walls of the old, historic part of town. Slightly wider than the streets of Toledo, although the climate is similar. On the way to the cathedral we passed a smaller churches, squares, plazas and countless streets.
Department, what Catholicism has never been modest religion, is a rich, indeed is the last Gothic building erected in Spain ... interior causes people automatically head to mess up - a high ceiling, which the faithful should make you feel maleńkości and highlight the power of the church as an institution. You'll find a bit of images, clothes, some old papers and ornate ołtaże - as in the cathedral ... Alcazar is a different matter :-), not only that the fortress was built on a high rock, surrounded by a deep moat, which complies with all the canons of decent fortress, it looks like fairy - perhaps not until the end of the city, but the outwardly already so what prompting many filmmakers to shoot here is his story.
Segovia is certainly a nice city (perhaps the only Madrid I like it less and less likely to be sitting here a long time:-P), interesting, worth a visit, but the more I liked Toledo, despite the fact that the local Alcazar was much uglier ... interesting how the Granada? (I look and there ... but it's a long way and you have to stop there for more than several hours).
