Overview
Join us on a scenic day trip from Madrid through the beautiful Castile and León region, immersing yourself in the enchanting city of Segovia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our English-speaking driver-guide will pick you up from your Madrid accommodation for a comfortable hour-long drive. As you venture into a distinct Spanish region, you'll cross over the Navacerrada mountains, immersing yourself in serene landscapes and lush forests. Upon reaching Segovia, your driver guide will kick off with a panoramic tour, allowing stops for photo opportunities at stunning viewpoints. During the guided walking tour, you'll be amazed by the wonderfully preserved Roman aqueduct, standing for 2,000 years, dominating the Plaza del Azoguejo. Continuing, you'll stroll towards the main square where the Segovia Cathedral reaches for the sky. We'll then proceed to reach the Alcazar of Segovia, an ancient fortress of Castilian kings overseeing the city's main entrances.

Lets start with a WOW moment. The Pradera de San Marcos is located right at the foot of the Alcazar de Segovia, which rises imposingly on a promontory. It gives the impression of being a ship (more like its bow) embedded high on a rock. The best view is obtained from this meadow.

Real Alcazar de Segovia

The Segovia Alcazar, originally an Arab fort, was later rebuilt as a royal palace by King Alfonso VIII. It served as a residence for various monarchs and played a crucial role in Spanish history.
