The Roman Aqueduct in Segovia was built around the first century AD to channel water from springs in the mountains 11 miles away to the city’s fountains and private houses, and was in use until 1973. Its elevated section, with its complete arcade of 167 arches is amazing to see. Right in the middle of town! (Also – New Year resolution – learn to use a photo edit tool so yellow check coat woman isn’t in photos).

I really liked the short time we were in Madrid. The architecture is amazing, where we stayed was very walkable (and shopable), the museums were amazing and the little neighborhood restaurants had great food (but no pasta – as Eric repeatedly pointed out). Hope to return for a longer stay sometime.
