This is part two in a five-part series.

In the first few days of my trip I toured all over Madrid and Toledo. I visited the Royal Palace and the Prado Museum in Madrid, and the cathedral in Toledo.

It was now the fifth day of our tip and we were on our way to Segovia. This city, although smaller, does have some large and stunning landmarks.

In fact, the first thing I saw was the Roman Aqueduct; this was built for the purpose of water irrigation. I, of course, stopped to pose in front of it for a picture.

We then continued on through the city until we finally made it to the Alcázar of Segovia (Segovia Castle). The castle was built in the early 1100s, but in 1862 there was a fire, which destroyed much of the roof. It is currently being restored and embellished by construction workers.

Although the rooms are not as extravagant as the Palace in Madrid, it is still a beautiful place to visit. One thing I did like more about the Alcázar is that we were allowed to take pictures inside of the rooms.

After the tour in the Alcázar, we had free time in the city before we had to travel on to Burgos.

My friends and I went to a little outdoor café for lunch, and then we went to a frozen yogurt shop for desert, Llao Llao. The yogurt was really good, although the vanilla is different over there; it is less sweet but still really good.

Finally, we departed from Segovia and headed toward Burgos where we were scheduled to tour its famous cathedral. Although the cathedral here was not as grand as the one in Toledo,  it was still a remarkable sight.

There are beautiful stained-glass windows and incredible murals. Another fascinating fact about this cathedral is that the citizens of Burgos still use it for everyday worship.

After touring the cathedral, Raul gave us some free time to explore the city on our own. We decided this would be a good time to get some candy, so we visited the Valor chocolate shop and a candy store.
