After breakfast we head out to Segovia travelling across the rugged Sierra de Guadarrama.
Alcazar of Segovia. This medieval castle was destroyed by fire however the outside remained intact.
We enter Segovia. Church of Segovia.
This 1st century Roman aqueduct system is still intact. No mortar was used in it’s construction. It’s now UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Gothic cathedral that took 200 years to complete.
Then we drive to Avila which has these amazing city walls. They are in incredible condition.
Then we drive to Salamanca where we will spend the night. This is our hotel which used to be a nun’s residence.
Salamanca is a famous town known for its university.
This is a private residence. I wonder if they might require a housesitter?
Another beautiful door.
Beautiful ceiling at University of Salamanca
A stork has built a huge nest on this bell tower.
The view from our room at night!
