Segovia and Toledo trip
 |
| Toledo city view |
My last weekend in Spain and i wanted to see the aquaduct in Segovia.
Cristina told me Toledo is very pretty and I found a trip that combined both !
So I made my way to Madrid and book a tour that does both.
I'm pretty tired by now, after travelling multiple weekends consecutively. So i only did a day trip and spent the rest of Sunday in my hotel =)
I got upgraded in the Madrid hotel near the airport that is fabulous, inclusive of lounge access.

Segovia
The bus for the tour leave from the bull ring in Madrid. There are so many tours that it's very confusing who is going where. I had to be patient waiting for the right bus to show up at the right time..

The bus trip is uneventful till this shows up in the bus windows! The segovia aquaduct is very well preserved and absolutely beautiful.

The town is small, with only the cathedral and the palace being the main attraction but it certainly is impressive.

As you keep walking towards the cathedral and the palace, there are signs on the floor indicating the flow of the water from the aquaduct.

Toledo
The tour bus first brought us to a view point that shows the entire city of Toledo. It is impressive, as it's an old city with lots of old ancient buildings. I was very surprised.
