Description

Segovia city and its immediate surroundings concentrate one of Spain's densest monumental heritage areas. The 2,000-year-old Roman Aqueduct, the Alcázar that inspired Disney's castle and the country's latest Gothic cathedral form a Historic Quarter declared World Heritage. Just 10 km away, the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso features Versailles-style gardens with monumental fountains. The Riofrío Palace, surrounded by a forest where deer roam, completes the royal trilogy. Segovian gastronomy — roast suckling pig, La Granja butter beans, ponche segoviano — is an experience in itself.
