On the way from Valladolid to Salamanca, we took a large detour to see Segovia. This is home to one of the worlds best preserved Roman Aqueducts, as well as a very photogenic castle. The main reason I wanted to come here was to see the aqueduct. The castle was a bonus that we happened to see as we were driving to a restaurant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The aqueduct was completed in 112 AD, and once transported water from from a river in the mountains 11 miles from the city. You can see it from miles away as you approach the city. Pretty impressive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The food here was excellent and cheap. Wine came with the meal of the day, and they pour it into a huge pitcher, one for each person. It was the first time I think I’ve walked away from a restaurant without finishing the wine provided! I still had a 1.5 hour drive to Salamanca, and I didn’t want to find out how the Spanish treat their American inmates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The castle reminds me of Disneyland. Unfortunately it was closed, and we really didn’t have time for a long tour regardless.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
