Segovia

We took a day trip to Segovia by bus. It took about 90 minutes. Segovia, what a beautiful city! It's most famous for their conchillo asado (roast suckling pig). The lil piggy is born, fed its mother's milk for 21 days, and then ready for the oven. We ate at El Bernadino. We had the pig and the famous white bean stew. It was deeee-licious. I'm pretty sure the restaurant servers had never seen the bones cleaned off that good before.  Elgin says it was his highlight of Spain. :) While grocery shopping one day, we even saw a quarter of a baby pig sold in the pork section for less than 10 Euros. Hopefully, our next place in Barcelona will have a sufficient kitchen for us to play around and cook a nice dinner!

In Segovia, 

we saw the Aqueduct, the Cathedral, and Alcazar castle. My favorite was the Alcazar castle that was known to influence most children books stories like Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel. The original castle of all castles for fables :)
