I love when my international friends visit me and have enough time to do some sightseeing in the Madrid area.
Segovia is one of the obligatory visits, along with Toledo. I love this medieval town that has three first-class monuments – the 2000-year-old Roman aqueduct in perfect condition, the cathedral and the Alcazar. Each of these wonders is well worth a visit to this beautiful town, less than one hundred kilometers from Madrid!
