"Segovia is the most spectacularly sited city in Spain. The old town is set high on a rocky spur and surrounded by the Río Eresma and Río Clamores. It is often compared to a ship--the Alcázar on its sharp crag forming the prow, the pinnacles of the cathedral rising like masts, and the acueducto trailing behind like a rudder. The view from the valley below at sunset is magical."*

The main cathedral is the tall spire in the background. This is down near the acueducto on Calle Ladreda.
