Segovia & Toledo, Spain, Surprisingly Magnificent

The winter vacation destinations I recommend are Segovia and Toledo in Spain! Both regions have a great history and are wonderful places that will make you exclaim in awe. It is a bit chilly compared to southern Spain, but it is 10 degrees higher than Korea, so it is not a big deal! It's the kind of weather that makes you think, hehe 1️⃣~3️⃣ Aqueduct of Segovia If I had to pick one place that I remember the most during my trip to Spain, I would choose the Roman Aqueduct. When I first saw the aqueduct, I couldn't close my mouth because of its grandeur. It was a shockingly large and beautiful building. It was a Roman aqueduct built by the Romans who occupied the Iberian Peninsula around 50 AD. It is said to be one of the few well-preserved aqueducts left. There was a huge tree in front of the aqueduct to celebrate Christmas. The lights weren't on when I went, but I think it must have been even more gorgeous and beautiful by now. I could feel the Christmas atmosphere even in the aqueduct. 4️⃣~5️⃣ Alcazar Castle (Segovia Alcazar) It is a building built to drive out the Moors from Spain after the Islamic rule. The castle with the blue roof has a fairytale-like image, so it is said to have been the background for 'Snow White'. From here, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Segovia at a glance. I was able to 6️⃣~9️⃣ Toledo Cathedral (Catedral Primada) Toledo Cathedral has a history of over 500 years. Inside the cathedral, you can see artwork and decorations. The 'El Transparente' in the 7th photo was truly an amazing piece of work. The sunlight coming in through the skylight and illuminating the artwork was shockingly beautiful. El Greco's El Espolio and next to it was Goya's artwork. I was able to see such great artworks in one place. 🔟 Iglesia de Santo Tome Santo Tome Cathedral is a small cathedral, but it is still worth visiting. One of the three most famous paintings in the world, El Greco's 'The Burial of the Count of Orgaz' is inside the Santo Tome Cathedral. I couldn't help but be amazed by the incredible painting. If you have the chance, I highly recommend visiting. Aren't Segovia and Toledo in Spain really charming places?
