Segovia and its Aqueduct – an evening of history and delight

We spent a few days in Segovia and experienced the city in a very special way. When we arrived in the early evening and parked our motorhome at the Coloseum, we set off for a walk. Close by, I noticed an old-looking wall with a groove in the middle that once carried water. Curious, we followed this wall – and step by step, it turned into the enormous Aqueduct of Segovia. What an overwhelming moment to see this Roman masterpiece in its full grandeur.

We followed the aqueduct into the old town, past narrow streets and historic squares, until we finally reached the cathedral, glowing majestically in the evening light. But Segovia is not just about history; it also offers small pleasures. We highly recommend the ice cream at Plaza Mayor. For me, enjoying ice cream in a cone is a must – and Zuky loves it, knowing that he always gets the cone once I’ve finished the ice cream.

This stay in Segovia, filled with ancient history, medieval beauty and simple joys, will remain unforgettable.
