Madrid, Spain - Day 3

On Saturday we took the train north to Segovia, which is a small village in the mountains.  Our first stop was the castle that overlooks the village.  The castle has been rebuilt and modified over the centuries, and nowadays it looks like something right out of a storybook.  From there we hiked toward the village center and the ominous cathedral, which was overwhelming to stand next to.  We continued on and made our way to the other end of the village where the giant aqueduct lies.  The village was founded by the Romans so that's why there's an aqueduct here.  It was pretty cool to stand under.  Anyway, all in all I would say Segovia was Jenny and I's favorite of the entire trip.  It's a quiet little village full of old-Spain charm.
