Revision as of 14:58, 17 February 2019
Pedraza
Pedraza is one of the most scenic villages of the provincia de Segovia, also selected as one of the most beautiful villages of Spain. It kept much of its medieval aspect, including its unique entry door, a medieval carcel, its walls, it has a castle within the village itself, and no asphalted roads. One of the main delights is to walk through its streets. It is also a typical destination to taste the Segovian gastronomy. We visited the place on 15 February (2019).
We visited on a Friday, and we had the village to ourselves.
Typical facade from Pedraza.
And typical street.
Soportales on the Plaza Mayor.
Julia pausing with other architectural beauties.
Time for a chat.
The Puerta de la villa, the only entry point.
Waiting for the Carcel to open!
Meanwhile, marvelling at the fields and mountains.
Still waiting!
A strange, but cute, door.
Inside the medieval carcel, someone drew that.
Once inside, longing to get out.
Castillan window.
A rincon de la plaza mayor.
The Plaza Mayor of Pedraza is said to be among Spain's finest.
Every portion of every facade agrees with that.
Behind the Church.
The castle, adquired by Ignacio Zuloaga (painter).
Iglesia de Santa Maria.
Vultures (Buitres) taking their flight (note the nest on the bottom right). We did not spot Eagles.
A coffee on the Plaza Mayor.
Julia's favourite spot.
A good place to wait for the castle to open.
The castle, however, never opened its doors to the visitors of the day (despite it should have).
That's how far as we could get.
View of the aqueduct, with (in front) the Casa del Aguila Imperial.
Down there. That's what the top part of an aqueduct looks like.
Sideview, from the top.
The most advanced point of our excursion.
