On our way back to Madrid, we spent 3 days exploring the sites just north of the capital city. We stayed at the Parador La Granja in the small town of San Ildefonso La Granja, 6 miles from Segovia

 Segovia, famous for its 2,000 year old aqueduct built by the Romans to bring water to the city from the Rio Frio, 9 miles away. The exposed section of the aqueduct, running through the heart of the city is 2,500 feet long has 118 arches, and was made from 20,000 blocks of granite using no mortar.
