Looking for the ultimate Spanish day trip that’s less than an hour from Madrid? In this episode of Ah Spain! Poco A Poco, we’re heading to the cobblestone streets of Segovia, a UNESCO World Heritage gem that feels like stepping onto a movie set—and for good reason! We explore the massive Roman Aqueduct that stands perfectly balanced without a drop of mortar, and visit the Alcázar, the ship-shaped fortress that famously inspired Walt Disney’s Snow White castle. Between the "Lady of Cathedrals" and the hidden viewpoints of the Pradera de San Marcos, we’ll help you navigate the city’s royal history and breathtaking Gothic architecture. Of course, no trip to Castile is complete without a feast, so we’re talking about the theatrical tradition of cutting Cochinillo (roast suckling pig) with a plate and the sugary bliss of a Ponche Segoviano. Whether you’re hop-scotching over from the capital by high-speed train or planning a slow weekend wandering through Mudéjar ceilings, this episode is your guide to the best of Segovia.
