Castles and Cochinillo

#cityplaybook By late morning, walk westward to the Alcázar of Segovia, a castle that seems straight from a storybook. Climb the tower for sweeping views of the countryside and city rooftops. The Alcázar’s interior, with armory halls and royal rooms, tells tales of Spain’s regal past. Afterward, head back toward town for a leisurely lunch of cochinillo asado—crispy roast suckling pig—at Mesón de Cándido, an institution nestled at the foot of the aqueduct.
