Today John and I headed south east toward Madrid to visit a medieval castle in Medina Del Campo and then onward to the heritage city of Segovia, Spain.

The Castillo De Mota is an amazing example of Mujader style, erected around 1500.

On the grounds was a medieval festival of different folks making swords, medical tools, wearing gowns and owls, hawks and ravens ready to fly into battle back in the day. Then we drove through pretty villages as the Sierra Gardarama gets closer and more dramatic. Segovia is an extraordinary, exciting and mysterious city filled with historic and fascinating culture & architecture alike. John and I focused in the 2000 Roman stone aqueduct and the medieval romantic castle remodeled in the 19th century.

I really enjoyed walking throughout the city!



It was finally time to go home and we arrived back around 10:15 pm and I showed my little trinkets to everyone. GoodNight!?
