Hoy vamos a ir de Madrid hasta Segovia. No es un trayecto muy largo, por eso si salimos a las 10 de la mañana, llegaremos alrededor de las 11:00 de la mañana. Primero vamos a visitar el Alcázar de Segovia, un castillo muy destacado en España. Se dice que este castillo le inspiró a Walt Disney a crear su "Magic Kingdom". Este castillo está situado en un promontorio donde primero los moros habían construido su propio alcázar. Cuando los moros fueron expulsados de la península ibérica, los reyes católicos construyeron el Alcázar en el mismo sitio e incluyeron elementos arquitectónicos moriscos. Después de visitar el Alcázar, quiero ir a mi restaurante favorito, Mesón Casa Vicente. ¡Se sirve el cochinillo más rico en toda la ciudad! Al final del día visitaremos el famoso acueducto romano. Cuando los romanos ocuparon la península ibérica, asentaron un sistema de acueductos para llevar agua a sus ciudades principales. Hoy en día, el acueducto no lleva agua pero se ha convertido en el lugar más conocido de la ciudad. La construcción es una maravilla porque no usaron argamasa entre las piedras. ¡Fíjate! ¡Unas de estas piedras pesan una tonelada o más! ¡Qué viaje a Segovia más divertido!
