"Rumor has it that the castle in Walt Disney’s logo was inspired by Segovia’s famous Alcazar palace. We aren’t certain about that, but we do know that you have to go explore this iconic Spanish city if you have the chance. The Alcazares were castles or fortresses built during the Moorish rule over Spain between 711 and 1492. Segovia’s elegant hilltop Alcazar and the 2000-year-old Roman aqueduct are two of the many historic monuments in this UNESCO World Heritage city.Due north of Madrid, Segovia is just over an hour away by car and is easily accessible by bus or train as well. Once in Segovia, you should also try the cochinillo, which roughly translates into a roasted suckling pig. Most bars and restaurants around the city center will offer it on their menus. Other than the food and monuments, Segovia is filled with narrow and romantic streets that are bound to charm you. Try to stay after sunset; the whole city lights up and the aqueduct looks particularly pretty." - MATADOR_NETWORK
