Begin your journey from the point in Madrid that you choose and head northwest toward Segovia. Along the way, you'll pass the Valley of the Fallen and cross the Guadarrama mountain range before arriving in the city. Take in a panoramic view of Segovia, where history and architecture come together in remarkable ways. Marvel at the Alcázar of Segovia, a fairytale-like castle with soaring towers, battlements, and a rich history as a royal palace, prison, and military academy. Continue through the old town to Plaza Mayor, the lively heart of Segovia, surrounded by landmarks such as the cathedral apse and Teatro Juan Bravo.
Visit the Cathedral of Segovia, the "Lady of Cathedrals," with its magnificent Gothic design and ornate interior. Finally, stand before the iconic Roman Aqueduct, an astonishing 1st-century engineering masterpiece of perfectly preserved granite arches. After exploring these treasures, return to Madrid through the mountains, with one last view of the Valley of the Fallen.
