Segovia Day-Trip
A UNESCO town crowned by a colossal Roman aqueduct and a fairytale alcázar, ~30 min by AVE.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
An easy, rewarding day out: the towering 2,000-year-old aqueduct is genuinely breathtaking, the Disney-inspiring Alcázar sits dramatically on its crag, and roast suckling pig is the local rite.
Our read - 02
The catch is the AVE station is well outside town (a bus or taxi away), and beyond the two showpieces the centre is small.
