- Castile y Leon
We left wine country on our third road-tripping day and passed through central Spain to Segovia. Dramatic clouds, light, and occasional rain showers accompanied us. - Aqueduct
We were greeted by the remarkably restored Roman aqueduct as soon as we entered Segovia. - Suckling pig
Another key Segovia attraction: the roast suckling pig. They bring it out whole and bang the tender thing into portions with dinner plates. - Castle
The city also features an amazing Medieval castle. According to our guide book, Disney patterned Sleeping Beauty's castle after it, which may be why it looked familiar. - IMG_2632

No doubt it's better for historic preservation and whatnot, but in the last few years all the candles you could light in front of various alters and chapels have been replaced by tacky electric ones. Sigh. - IMG_2634

View from our inevitable balcony. The structural integrity of this roof seemed highly questionable. - IMG_2588

Building walls out of fieldstone seemed to be a common pastime near Segovia. - IMG_2642
