Segovia

Our next destination was Segovia. This was one of our shorter trips. The sun was shining (as you can clearly see from the image) and the sky was blue. Just the trip there was gorgeous. There was so much beautiful nature all around. When you get there, the first thing you see is the aqueducts.  The tour guide explained the mythology surrounding the aqueducts and how they came to be but I don't remember it that well because I was too busy looking around.

Segovia really did look extremely old, and you can tell by looking at the architecture of the surrounding buildings. The tour guide told us that the city was segregated into 3 sections essentially: where the Muslims (more specifically, the Moors) lived, where the Jewish people lived and where the Christians (Catholics) lived. It was pretty cool to see a physical representation of this in real life because I had learned about this in school before.

We also saw a castle!

I have never actually seen a castle in real life, so that was nice. After all that, we visited the DYC whiskey distillery. I will never in my life forget the absolutely pungent smell of fermentation. It was interesting to hear about how the distillery came to be and all. I would say the thing that I appreciated the most about this trip was the scenery. Everything looked very beautiful that day and it was pretty nice to be surrounded by nature.
