AQUEDUCT IN SEGOVIA

For centuries, El Acueducto has been the symbol of Segovia as it is the city’s most popular and most beautiful landmark. The Roman Aqueduct is not just a sight to behold but is also a very historic structure as it was built in 1st century AD.

The Aqueduct is made up of more than 20,000 granite blocks that form 163 arches, with its highest point at 28 m high in Plaza del Azoguejo. It is located at the center of town and stretches for 818 m.

Seeing it was such a thrilling experience. To be able to see a structure that stood the test of time really makes us think about how amazing human hands and minds can be.

ALCAZAR IN SEGOVIA

One must-see landmark in Segovia is Alcazar, a castle that looks like it came straight from a fairytale. In fact, many say that Walt Disney was inspired by Alcazar when designing Cinderella’s castle.

That’s how gorgeous and majestic this structure is. However, the one we see today is only a reconstruction of Alcazar as the original building burned down in 1862. Gates open at 10 AM and cost €5-7.

Travel tip: Every third Tuesday of the month, entrance to the Alcazar is FREE!

SEGOVIA CATHEDRAL

Located in Plaza Mayor is the Segovia Cathedral, an imposing Gothic church and is the last of its kind made in Spain. The original cathedral perished in a fire in 1520 but has then been reconstructed from 1525-1577.

Now, that’s a long time to build a church! All the years was worth it, though, as the Segovia Cathedral now stands tall and proud on the highest point of the town.

The Segovia Cathedral is open from 9:30 AM-5:30 PM and has a small entrance fee of €3. Great news: The Cathedral has free admission on Sundays from 9:30 AM-1:15 PM. The place will be packed then so make sure to go early!

EAT COCHINILLO IN SEGOVIA

Have you ever eaten roast suckling pig? Well, it wasn’t Rachel and I’s first time to encounter such a dish since lechon is a very famous food in the Philippines.

In Spain, the dish is called cochinillo and the best ones in the country are said to be found in Segovia. You can order a cochinillo meal for €16 while an entire pig costs €110.

We really loved Segovia’s version and we highly recommend it! We were 6 of us for eating the whole cochinillo in Segovia and it was too much food, we think is fine for 8 people.
