Little Travel House is in Segovia, Spain
Some places leave you wondering how people managed to build such incredible things centuries ago. Segovia is certainly one of them!
The highlight is the magnificent Roman aqueduct, an engineering marvel built over 2,000 years ago. Constructed with 25000 blocks of granite and without mortar, its enormous granite blocks have stood the test of time, with the aqueduct once carrying water into the city from the surrounding mountains. It is a remarkable reminder of Roman ingenuity and engineering.
Segovia also has a fairytale connection. Its beautiful Alcázar, perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop, is said to have inspired Walt Disney’s design for the castle in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. With its turrets, towers and storybook appearance, it’s easy to see why!
Add in the charming old town, cobbled streets and delicious traditional cuisine, and Segovia is a wonderful day trip from Madrid.
Spain has so much more to offer than its famous cities and beaches. Sometimes, the most memorable experiences are found in places steeped in history and a little bit of magic.
