This morning was much warmer than recently, 13ºC first thing, but it
was cloudy and threatened to rain. We hadn’t seen all of the old town and
therefore wanted to return. There were two particular sites that we wanted to
visit, the Museum of Segovia and the Alcazar. The museum of Segovia was very
good and very quiet but when we got to the Alcazar there were thousands of
tourists and the queue for tickets was enormous. We realised that if we joined
the queue, we wouldn’t get much else done, so we decided to leave the Alcazar
for our next visit, preferably not at a weekend.
We wandered around some of the town walls and the many other
places of interest before settling for a Sunday lunch at La Cueva de San
Esteban, choosing different options from the menu. On the way back we picked
out some palaces to pass by and then chose a route parallel to the aqueduct
that gave us a more realistic view of the lives of the Segovians.

Segovia restaurant; Sunday afternoon entertainment in the Plaza Mayor was a
rock band – nowhere as good as the folk band but I was impressed that the lead
singer was the drummer; One of the two very impressive organs in Segovia’s
cathedral.
