Segovia
Segovia on the border of the two areas called Castile does not fit the traditional wasteland image painted by the famous 1898 group of Spanish poets because its lands are half mountain half plain.
The historic urban layout, historical sites and scenery of Segovia have been awarded a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list and the city is no doubt one of the most beautiful in Spain.
It lies on a rock with rivers Eresma and Clamores at its foot. It was inhabited in the remote past and Rome turned it into a military base, of which the famous aqueduct has survived the passage of time as a unique example of the mastery of engineering in the Empire.
