Departure from Madrid
Our adventure begins in the morning as we depart from the Viajes Julià office, located conveniently in the heart of Madrid. We’ll board our comfortable, air-conditioned bus and head toward Segovia, a journey of just over an hour. As we approach the city, the first landmark we’ll encounter is the stunning Roman aqueduct.
The Roman Aqueduct a Masterpiece of Engineering
Segovia’s Roman aqueduct is one of the most impressive ancient structures in Spain, and it’s no wonder it’s considered one of the best-preserved Roman aqueducts in the world. Comprising 167 arches, this marvel of engineering was built nearly 2,000 years ago to supply water to the city. You’ll have the opportunity to explore its grand structure up close, learning about its construction, significance, and the ways it has stood the test of time. Your Segovia guided tour wouldn’t be complete without a visit to this awe-inspiring monument.
Walking Tour of Segovia plaza Mayor and the Cathedral
After marveling at the aqueduct, we’ll embark on a leisurely walking tour through the heart of Segovia. Our first stop is Plaza Mayor, the vibrant center of the city, bustling with life and history. Here, you’ll find some of Segovia’s most notable landmarks, including the Segovia Town Hall, the Juan Bravo Theater, and the crown jewel of the square, the Segovia Cathedral.
The Segovia Cathedral, also known as the “Lady of Cathedrals,” is a stunning Gothic masterpiece. Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, this massive structure dominates the skyline with its elegant spires. During the guided tour inside the cathedral, you’ll explore its intricate altars, stunning stained glass windows, and impressive chapels. Our knowledgeable guide will provide you with insights into the cathedral’s history, its construction, and the important role it has played in the city’s religious and cultural life.
Free Time in Segovia
Once we’ve completed our guided visit of the cathedral, you’ll have some free time to explore the city at your leisure. Wander the charming streets, snap photos of the beautiful squares, or stop by a café to enjoy a traditional cochinillo (roast suckling pig), a local delicacy. Whether you’re looking for souvenirs, a quick snack, or just to soak in the atmosphere, Segovia’s charming streets have something for everyone.
The Alcázar of Segovia a Fairytale Castle
Next on our itinerary is a visit to the Alcázar of Segovia, one of the most iconic and well-preserved medieval castles in Spain. Perched high on a rocky hill, this majestic fortress offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The Alcázar is believed to have inspired Walt Disney’s castles, including those seen in films such as “Cinderella” and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
During our visit to the Alcázar, you’ll have the chance to explore its lavish interiors, including the Throne Room, the Hall of Kings, and the armory, where medieval weapons and armor are displayed. The Alcázar’s unique architecture, with its turreted towers and distinctive shape, will transport you back to a time of knights, kings, and queens. Our guide will share fascinating stories about the fortress’s history, from its time as a royal palace to its role as a military academy.
Return to Madrid
After our visit to the Alcázar, we will begin our journey back to Madrid. On the way, you’ll have some time to relax and reflect on the incredible sights you’ve seen throughout the day. Once we arrive in Madrid, you’ll have approximately an hour for lunch at your leisure.
