Segovia is a wonderful overnight. It’s crowded during the day, but if you arrive in the late afternoon you’ll have a wonderful time exploring. Check out the aqueduct, the Alcazar, and the numerous churches. Segovia’s speciality is the covered lateral portico — an arcaded gallery running along the church flank, used for assemblies and burials — and **San Esteban features the tallest Romanesque tower in Spain.

One night is plenty, a full day would be too much.

We stayed at ***Hotel Infanta Isabel, which we really liked. Classic and a great location. Old fashioned.Dinner was at ***El Bernardino, Cervantes No. 2. Very good, with outdoor seating.
