The Roman Aqueduct in Segovia, Spain, has to be one of the most famous ones in the world. Every time I’ve seen it, I’ve been impressed. These photos aren’t the best, but they give a good impression of the how the structure spans the little valley there leading to the old part of town.
Moving closer, with some people in the photo, you get a better sense of the scale of it:
For more than a thousand years, this aqueduct brought water into town. That’s impressive for any piece of infrastructure. The Romans knew what they were doing, and weren’t afraid to do it well.
Of course, they do a delicious cochinillo here, have a great wine list, but don’t miss the ponche segoviano dessert seen below:
The dessert is worth a stop here. I did mention the wine, and here’s a tasty bottle you can find most anywhere.
The albariño wine goes with many things. Enjoy every meal. Take your time, too!
