If you enjoy places that come right out of a fantasy novel, Segovia, Spain is the perfect place for you. This magnificent town is laced with old Roman walls and a gorgeous country side. In addition to this is the immense Roman Aqueduct, which runs right through the busy town center and joins the tall walls that run throughout the city.
The real highlight of this trip though was the Alcazar of Segovia. This is a huge castle that stands on an outcrop of rock overlooking the town. Entering the castle is a wonderful experience. You get to walk the battlements, view the armory, climb the keep and even do deep in to the castles' Roman foundations. The top of the keep gives you the best view of Segovia. Another great view comes from the opposite end, where the castle sticks out over the rock like the great mast of a ship.
