Fantastic construction, it impressed me as much as the first time I saw it as a child.

The Segovia Aqueduct is an impressive architectural structure that dates back to the 1st century AD. C. and was built by the Romans during the occupation of Hispania. Its main function was to supply water to the city of Segovia, transporting it from the mountains to the urban center. The aqueduct carries the waters of the Fuenfría spring, located in the mountains about 17 kilometers from the city, to the center of Segovia. The water is collected in a cistern called El Caserón and then taken through an ashlar canal to a second tower known as Casa de Aguas. After traveling more than 15 km, you arrive at the city. The Segovia Aqueduct is a heraldic symbol of the city and one of the most impressive works that the Romans left in their vast empire. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, I recommend that you do so. It's really amazing! 😊🏛️

The Segovia aqueduct, one of the most emblematic architectural symbols of Spain, was used to transport water from the Guadarrama mountain range to the city. It is a true Roman jewel that deserves to be appreciated from all its angles.

It is located at the foot of the road that connects La Velilla and Val de San Pedro, close to the neighborhood of Requijada, which, together with other towns that do not exist today, made up what was known as the council of Las Vegas.

Cantalejo, one of the gateways to the Hoces del Río Duratón Natural Park, is a good place to make a stop during the trip. Have a coffee in Plaza España or eat something small.

As you approach the historic town of Sepúlveda, the spectacular views of the Hoces del Duratón are revealed in their magnificent splendor. Like dominant towers, the rock formations of the surrounding cliffs are a powerful sight.

From this pedestrian bridge you can observe the Pontón Alto dam as a whole and it shows us one of the iconic waters of the area, the views of the Finca de Santa Cecilia.
