Segovia & La Granja

Segovia: One of my favorite small tourist towns in Spain is Segovia. The Roman Aqueduct there is beautiful and in amazing condition. Segovia also has an amazing castle - it's an ACTUAL castle, not a fortress of some kind.

Favorite Memory: One of the best things you get to do on trips is eat picnic food. My favorite memory of Segovia was walking through the streets and buying food in the grocery store.

La Granja: La Granja is a beautiful palace not far from Segovia. Spain was at one time ruled by a French King who, coming from all the craziness of Frence, missed his home and decided to build a mini Versailles. And that is exactly what La Granja is.

emory: My favorite memory here is easy - the weather. As we neared the end of our visit, it began to hail. These were big pieces of hail and we were stuck outside in the middle of it! Very exciting!!
