Hotel Los Linajes Segovia

... and I trudged along as her parents took the their time following us from behind. As we scaled the stairs along the side of the cold stonewall, an aerial view of the city began to unfold below us. The city’s red roofs stretched across the hilly landscape. Once we reached the top of the staircase we found ourselves before a columned Roman-style building. Souvenir shops and flamenco guitar players catered to the tourists filling the street. To ...

... and with the amazing artworks, and two huge organs make this a must see in Segovia. <br><br>We explored the area around Plaza Mayor - lots of little shops set amongst cloisters along with the usual souvenir shops. Kev found a bakery and we sat down for a well earned (but not terribly good) coffee and some pastries, which were beautifully wrapped and enclosed in their own box. The wrapping was a work of art and it seemed a shame to open them - but we were hungry, as the ...

... to find alternate accommodations. We searched on the internet and Conrad found a hostel on the other side of town. We discovered it but found that it is only a hostel in the summer time. The remainder of the year it is a college dorm. They led us to the Hostal Vallada. Not quite a hostel, not quite a hotel. It was a very nice place. The owner was friendly and she chatted with Conrad about his hostel. The room was 44 euros. I was shocked that ...

... Without question... (Pictures to follow when I receive some from other people) Finally, I was served a pretty sizeable portion of the Cochinillo and it tasted as good as it looked/was presented to us. It was extremely juicy and tender with a solid pork taste. Some people ate the skin, but I figured I probably already had enough of fat to last me through the weekend. Desert was actually amazing as well, perhaps one of my favorites: a warm ...

... photo-hunt of taking photos of different street signs. In the old part of Madrid, almost all the streets signs were drawn up as beautiful icons each showing the meaning of the street name. So if you were bored like me, you could do the "collection" along the way... it was more fun ...

... gothic work on the stone of the arches and the doorways created amazing shadows on the old tile floors, bathed by the only sunlight that entered the Cathedral. After I almost got locked up in one of the small chapels by a wandering priest, I found the rest of my family members and we exited the cathedral and started walking toward our next stop: the Alcazàr of Segovia. I could tell this was the big tourist attraction of the city, since the amount of ...

I fell in walking with a husband and wife from Montreal as we climbed up from St. Jean. They had made arrangements to stay at this albergue ahead of time (ah, the internet) and not to to the whole trek across the mountains in one day, which was more common. They speak French, of course, and English, of ...

... br><br><br><br> Luego caminé hacia la otra atracción que tiene la ciudad y que es el Alcázar. En España se construyeron muchísimos alcáceres (el más famoso es el de Toledo) y es una reminiscencia de la época de la Reconquista contra los moros. Básicamente son como fuertes muy empinados que se construían en lo alto de cerros como puestos de vigilancia. Subí por una estrecha ...
