Laguna de los Pájaros is a beautiful glacial lagoon located on the northeast slope of Peñalara Peak, in the Sierra de Guadarrama, within the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park. It is located at an altitude of 2,170 meters above sea level, making it the highest lagoon in the park. During the winter, the lagoon remains frozen, and in summer, although its level fluctuates, it does not disappear completely. It is a popular place for hiking, with routes that offer spectacular views of the surrounding alpine landscape.

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

In the main square itself.

Plaza de España, Templete. It is a small square with a temple, a fountain, and a bandstand. Quotes from illustrious figures who lived in or passed through Rascafría are inscribed on its wall.

The patronage of this episcopal church (cathedral) "Nuestra Señora de La Asunción" (sometimes also called "Santa Maria Asunción", in German-speaking countries it is called "Mariä Himmelfahrt") refers to one of the many memorial or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Mary in the church year. It goes back to the feast of her bodily assumption into heaven, which the (Catholic) Church celebrates annually on August 15th. In Orthodox churches, the feast is celebrated under the name "Maria Entschläfung". In more rural areas, it is part of local custom - depending on the region - that on this day bundles of herbs are collected by the population and blessed in the festive service.

The Cathedral of Segovia is a historical heritage of Spain and an asset of cultural interest. This majestic cathedral, located in the city of Segovia, is a stunning testament to Gothic architecture and a gem that attracts visitors from all over the world.

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! 😊🏛️
