The Alcazar, Segovia, Spain

     You may have to walk from the parking lot in Segovia to get to the Alcazar, but it is a lovely walk with sights along the way that will remind you that this is Spain. A Roman aqueduct, a statue of Columbus, a beautiful brownstone church, a plaza with food options - as you walk up the gentle grade you will see out of the city and into the vineyards and fields. From one vantage you will see a small church from whence crusaders left to fight the Moors. In the garden in front of the moat, there are large chestnuts waiting to be picked up; one is enough.  This is truly a great and short visit from Madrid.
