Alcázar de Segovia

About an hour north of Madrid lies the town of Segovia.
Segovia has a very cool Alcazar(castle) which was built on the side of an extremely steep cliff. The town Segovia itself is shaped like a ship and the Alcazar lies at the bow, or front, of the ship. From the top of the castle you can see for miles out across the Spanish countryside. With rolling green hills and valleys with mountains with snow in the distance. On this particular day the weather was pretty unsettling but this actually made the experience much more memorable. Looking out from the top you could see patches of rain and thunderclouds drifting about in the distance with the sun mixing inbetween. The wind was cold and howling at the base of the Alcazar where I took this picture.
¡Viva España!
