Carretera Avila 1 Segovia, Castile-León, Spain and Canary Islands, 40002 , 921-425-761
Hello all,
Quick update here!
We are in Segovia Spain at the moment and this is our second day in spain.
We made our way to the south of France and did a bt (like an hour) of surfing in Biarritz, France, which was unreal. Being a surf bum would be fun to try for a bit!
The weather is consistenly cloudy mornings, warm for about 3 hours in the afternoon and then cloudy again. (always!)
We then headed here to Segovia, Spain which is 30 minutes north of Madrid and has a sweet...

I stepped on to the ancient inter-city train to find bags, coats and camping equipment strewn across the backs of seats and the middle aisle. I secured the last open bench behind the rows and rows of screaming school kids. Even in Spain little boys are still obnoxious. Spanish boys wearing bandanna neckties and blue polo shirts joked loudly and tortured their friends by poking them with walking sticks. The whole train seemed like a summer camp bus ...
Segovia, Castile-León, Spain and Canary Islands hippietraveler... a distance - Disney fashioned the Fantasyland castle after this virtually impregnable castle, which, together with moat, really looks the part. The tour is worthwhile, and was popular with large groups of school kids and pensioners.<br><br>We made our way back up to the Plaza Mayor and entered the massive Cathedral which was incredible. The sheer size of the church which has flying buttresses, a large dome and steeple, and a unique cloistered outdoor garden dating from 1525, is ...
Segovia, Castile-León, Spain and Canary Islands kevino101... wanted to try. It is the local specialty, roast suckling pig. And man, was it GOOD!! For 20 euros, I got soup, entrée, dessert, bread, and a drink. Not a bad deal. Conrad got some type of lamb stew and wasn’t all that happy with it. There was so much meat on my plate, that he helped me finish it. The crispy, crunch skin was SO good and the moist tender parts of the meat were delectable. Part of it was dry, but not much of it. I ...
Segovia, Castile-León, Spain and Canary Islands thematts... it is over 2000 yrs old and is still in use. That afternoon we took a lovely stroll around the outside of the town and saw a wonderful sunset. That night we went to the Jose Maria the most famous restaurant in Segovia for local food, I had a traditional Chocinillo which is roasted suckling piglet; Katherine got a leg of lamb literally. They both were amazing!!!! Later that night we went walked around the town and enjoyed a long lie in.
Segovia, Castile-León, Spain and Canary Islands dkjohansen... und ins Flugzeug einzusteigen, dass mich in Richtung Austauschsemester in Toledo brachte. Doch noch ist es nicht soweit. Zuerst gab's einen Zwischenstopp in der spanischen Hauptstadt. Ich quartierte mich im MadHostel mitten in der Stadt ein, wo es nur so von Backpackern wimmelte. So hatte ich noch nicht die Möglichkeit meine spitzen Spanischkenntnisse auszupacken, sondern musste mich mit Englisch durchschlagen. Ehrlich gesagt, war ich wirklich froh darum, denn mein ...
Madrid, Spain kusa... fee in my wallet and moved on. Now that I had a map of Segovia and my digital compass, (ie my Casio watch) I decided to walk my way back to the train station. (At that time I had about 1 hour to spare before the next train at 18:50) 'That should be plenty of time, I thought to ...
Segovia, Spain vipro... to take out shoes off and wear some really attractive socks when we went inside because the floor is a mirror. It looked really cool!! It was soo hot that day, we made it back to the hostel pretty soon after that, just to get out of the heat. We couldn't go to a bull fight in the end, as it wasn't on, bit dissapointed, but i reckon i prob wouldn't have liked it anyway... We went out again that night, very spontaneously, prob the best night ...
Madrid, Spain sarahcromack... Sofia and some modern art. The highlight is Picasso´s Guernica, but there were many lovely pieces. We walked through an enormous park, Parque Retiro and down the wide avenue of Calle Mayor to Plaza Mayor. Later we caught up with Pete and spent the rest of the evening hanging out and practicing our Spanish with his friends. We moved from one very crowded, but fun tapas bar to another bar with music and dancing. The friends were very nice ...
