Hard to imagine how much man power it took to built this
We took the train to Segovia. The train was mostly through tunnels so there was not much to see on the trip. The train station is out side of town but there is a local bus that essentially meets the tuaint lookingrain and takes you to the center of town. The Segovia tourist map lists historic landmarks and I am sure we walked by lots of them but we really paid attention to three - The roman aqueduct, The 16 th century cathderal and the Alcazar the castle. The castle is the one that inspired the design of the Disney land castle and is very fanciful. you expect to see Mickey Mouse and friend from the magic kingdome inside but what you get are some pretty well done historical artifacts.
