The Must See Spain Blog
 A Traveler's Guide
by Kristin Espinar

Segovia sits in the high plains of central Spain like it’s been waiting. The kind of place where the buildings still do what they were built to do—hold weight, frame quiet, cast long shadows in the afternoon. No one polished the stone to please visitors. It’s just there, worn smooth where hands and feet and weather have worked on it for centuries.

You arrive, and it looks straightforward: a Roman aqueduct, a castle that seems one gust of wind away from flight, a handful of churches, old houses, steep streets. But move a little slower, and details start to emerge. A window shutter with chipped paint. A butcher sweeping out his doorway. Locals ducking into a bar at noon for wine and something fried. Segovia isn’t performing. It’s just existing, and you’re lucky to pass through.

This guide isn’t about big reveals. It’s for travelers who notice small things. Who like their cities with a bit of edge, a lot of history, and no need to explain themselves. If you’re wondering what to do in Segovia, start by showing up curious—and take it from there.
