Segovia

So, so over Cathedrals


View the big trip on jamienrach's travel map.

It’s been near 2 months of travel so far, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland and now Spain. And there has been a common theme in all these places, cathedrals. They are just everywhere in Western Europe and quite frankly we are getting a bit sick of them. So why you ask did we go to Segovia, the main attractions being a roman aqueduct and a massive cathedral? Well I don’t know… we’d read about it in the LP and it sounded good 2 months ago.

The Aqueduct is actually knida cool, no mortar or fixings and still standing after a few thousand years.

And finally…… wow a cathedral

We were about to head to Avila, another small medieval town (more old streets and buildings) but unless you couldn’t guess the tone of this post we were a bit over it all so decided just to go straight to Madrid.
