What to do in Segovia?
The best way to start is by joining a guided free tour that will reveal the city’s best-kept secrets.
After the initial tour, take time to explore the interior of the Cathedral, known as the Lady of Spanish Cathedrals, where you will find the cloister moved stone by stone from the old Romanesque cathedral destroyed in the War of the Communities.
Venture into the Knights’ Quarter, where palace-houses preserve 16th-century Segovian sgraffito, a unique decorative technique covering entire façades with geometric and plant designs.
Visit the Alhóndiga, the old grain warehouse converted into a municipal archive, where original 13th-century documents are preserved, and you can see temporary exhibitions on local history free of charge.
Walk along the medieval wall through its accessible walkway, especially the section of the San Andrés Gate, from where you will have unique perspectives of the aqueduct not found in typical postcards.
Explore the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites, founded by Saint John of the Cross, where his original tomb and autograph manuscripts of the mystical poet are kept in a small convent museum.
Discover the Royal Mint, the oldest coin factory in Spain with its ingenious system of canals and hydraulic wheels from the Eresma River that powered the minting machinery.
Try the roast suckling pig cooked in century-old wood ovens, but also Carnival ham or San Marcos buns, seasonal specialties you will only find in artisan bakeries in the old town.
At sunset, descend to the Fuencisla Gardens following the medieval round path, a quiet walk through poplar groves that will take you to the patronal sanctuary with privileged views of the illuminated Alcázar.
