Acueduct of Segovia

Reviewed By Sandbridgetraveler

We did a day trip with a private guide to Segovia to see the aqueduct which is one of the most well preserved elevated Roman aqueducts in the world. It is an engineering marvel built out of interlocking stones with no mortar. Built it in the 15th century it is difficult to imagine that it is still standing and as well preserved as it is today.

Territorio Artlanza

Es un espacio que expone y da a conocer la cultura popular de nuestros pueblos. El punto inicial es el taller/museo de cerámica, donde Félix Yáñez, el autor de la obra, trabaja y expone sus esculturas de terracota. En sus más de 20.000m2 que abarca, se encuentra también la recreación (a tamaño natural) de un pueblo castellano desde la época medieval hasta el siglo pasado. Construido desde cero con materiales reciclados, encontrados en escombreras, Félix ha levantado las callejuelas y plazas que lo conforman. Recorrerlo supone dar con varios museos, escaparates y portales que muestran los comercios y servicios de antaño, sin olvidar la propia ermita del poblado. En su interior cuenta también con dos corrales de comedias, que cobran vida en los meses de julio y agosto acogiendo las actividades de cada verano cultural, como el festival nacional de teatro, las noches de flamenco o de cine. También se realizan talleres con colegios, previa reserva telefónica

Alcazar of Segovia

Fortress of the Kings of Castile and Royal School of Artillery Its picture has been around the world: a unique fairy tale-like palace that brings together architectural tastes of different monarchs. It tells -to all those who come to know it- ancient palatial stories. Austere, as they were the Castilian kings, raised on the rock at the confluence of the valleys of the rivers Eresma and Clamores, the Alcazar seems to watch over the city. Its beautiful Tower keep, often compared to the bow of a boat sailing between the two rivers, is of a stunning beauty. Tourists are amazed to realize that the fortress is a living part of this Castilian city, chosen as a place of residence for many of the monarchs of the Trastamara dynasty.

Our tour guide took us here to this city, a UNESCO site, for a tour which included this beautiful castle in Segovia. It is said that Walt Disney used this castle as well as the Neuschwanstein castle in Germany as his inspiration for the castle at Disneyland, and we could see why! It is built high on what seems like a huge rocky formation with sheer dropoffs on many of the castle sides. The day we were there and outside looking over the edge, a sharp wind came up along with rain, and we had to be careful not to get blown away! We heard that they often have to close the terrace due to the high wind possibly blowing people over the edge down many feet below!! It is a great place to visit, and well worth the hour or so drive from Madrid.

We spent a few hours slowly walking around the inside and outside of this beautiful building - there is so much to see and take in, so much detail in the construction, and the natural light inside shows off Gaudi's incredible talent.

Museo de la Evolucion Humana

Reviewed By FactotumDellaCitta - London, United Kingdom

Lying on the opposite side of the Arlanzón River from the cathedral is the airy glass structure of the Museum of Human Evolution. Just outside Burgos is the UNESCO-recognized site of Atapuerca, where rich deposits of hominid fossils and bones going back 1.3 million years were found. The museum is based on those findings and does an excellent job explaining evolution, in general, and hominid evolution, specifically. I wish we could've spent more time here.
