Today we're exploring the beautiful medieval town of Segovia, Spain!!!🇪🇸 • ► Subscribe - https://bit.ly/ProbablyLostSubscribe • ► Instagram - https://bit.ly/ProbablyLostOnInstagram • ► Facebook - https://bit.ly/ProbablyLostFB • It's really going to be hard to find a city more beautiful than this! Segovia sits about an hour outside of Spain's capital city of Madrid is PERFECT for a day trip. Follow along as we explore this gorgeous city! • Before arriving, we wanted to enter into the city in the coolest entrance possible. Puerta de San Andreas, or San Andreas Gate, is an entryway in the medieval city walls on the south side of the city. The gate is dedicated to Saint Andrew and dates back as far as 1120, however todays gate was renovated between the 15th and 16th centuries. Today it serves as an office for tourism and is the entry point in case you’re wanting to walk the city walls. • Next up, COFFEE! We went into a place called Lemon Mint. It’s been in the center of Segovia for over 30 years they’re well-known for their homemade pastries. Segovia’s got some pretty spectacular sweets so we figured we might as well go dessert first. • In Segovia there are three major landmarks that sort of command the attention of anyone visiting. We’ll start the three off by visiting the Aqueduct of Segovia. Constructed by the Romans in the 1st century, it served as a transport for water to Segovia from the Frio River, and this aqueduct was in service all the way up until the 1800s. I think the craziest thing about the aqueduct is that there isn’t cement holding the over 20,000 stones together. Instead it’s perfectly balanced and uses gravity. The highest point of the aqueduct is here on Plaza del Azoguejo, where it sits 92 feet high and has 167 arches total. • When you’re walking from the aqueduct to the center of town you’ll walk through an area called Calle Real. Calle Real isn’t a specific street, but rather a collection of streets that run through the heart of Segovia. You can do some shopping, eating, or enjoying some of the great buildings that provide some pretty great glimpses into the past. • Since we’re in the area, we wanted to point out this really cool building called Casa de Los Picos. It’s a 15th-century building that has 617 points and was once the home of Segovia’s governor, but it’s now an art school. • The next stop west of Plaza Mayor was arguably the grandest structure of them all, the Catedral de Segovia. The Segovia Cathedral is built on the highest point of town and dates back to 1525 when construction first began. It’s built in the gothic style and took 50 years to build. We’ve seen a ton of cathedrals so far this year across many countries but this one in my opinion is probably the most impressive when it comes to the exterior. Tickets are only 3 euros per person which in my opinion is totally worth it! • Since Segovia’s old town is built on this hill, it provides some pretty unbelievable views of the surrounding Guadarrama Mountains. One of the first things we noticed when we arrived here was that there are “miradors” or viewpoints everywhere so we try to stop and enjoy these as much as we can. • For our final major stop, we made our way to the Alcazar de Segovia. This is a HUGE medieval castle positioned at the Northwest corner of the hill in a fairly similar fashion to the Edinburgh Castle back in Scotland. This castle is shaped like the bow of a ship and the way it jets out of the rock face only adds to its glamour appeal. It dates back to the 11th 12th centuries and originally served as a fortress before being transformed into a royal palace for 22 different kings. Today, the alcazar is used as a museum and you can tour the Tower of Juan II, the palace, and the museum for 9 euros each. • For dinner, we felt it would be appropriate to end our time in Spain with the meal we first had when we arrived to Madrid in December. Personally, you can NEVER go wrong with Calamari Bocadillos. • Thank you so much for tuning in!! Subscribe if you're new and like the video if you enjoyed it.
