Oh to try that Pork would only be heaven, it looks as good as Im sure it tastes just as delish. Great views of the Cathedrals and a castle, what a stunning place.
The aqueduct is made of stone on stone, with no cement or mortar to bind them together. Flores Fritas (fried flowers) are one of the classic traditional Castilian sweets, simple and humble, with wheat flour and sugar as main ingredients. Sometimes in these sweets, the fat part comes from olive oil, butter or lard. The flavor nuances can be herbs, spices or liquors: in this case, grated orange/lemon peel and anisette. Come to Bilbao! The Basque Country is a paradise for nature (mountains and sea), traditions & culture (the language, the people, the museums, the architecture...) and THE FOOD! You can eat fine anywhere, but we have the highest concentration of Michelin Stars only behind Tokyo! And a catalog of cakes and pastries delicious on their own or with coffee! Butter buns, carolinas, pasteles de arroz, Basque cake, St. James cake, etc. PS: if you come here, please, don't dare to compare PINTXOS with tapas... 😝
Nice video!! How many hours did you spend in Segovia? Would a morning 9-12ish be enough to see all three major attractions aqueduct, cathedral and alcazar, if you don't stop to eat?
Thank you!!! Personally think 9am-12pm would be a stretch and very tiring and would allocate at least 4-5 hours as a bare minimum. We arrived at the Aqueduct around 9:15 am and then left fro the train station at 7:30 pm. So a good 10 hours in Segovia itself not including travel to and from the train stations in Segovia and Madrid.
The first references to the Alcazar of Segovia are from approximately 1150 in the reign of Alfonso VII. Its construction has nothing to do with any Almoravid dynasty. Although it does have decorative parts of the Mudejar style (which is the exclusive style of Spain, with Arab architecture) During the reign of various kings, the Alcazar has undergone changes from Alfonso VIII, Alfonso X, Juan II... etc. The Arabs did not dominate Spain for 8 centuries as it is said, really only a part of Spain lasted that long, there are areas in which it was only a few years, in the north of Spain, others, such as Madrid, it was just over 2 centuries.
