Segovia might have the castle Sleeping Beauty dreamt about, as well as a Roman
aqueduct that must have been created by someone who could dream big, but this
Unesco-protected city remains somewhat off the standard Spanish tourist circuits,
which makes a stop here all the more rewarding.
SEGOVIA MADRID

Atocha station.

The capital of Spain has art galleries and museums to rival anywhere in the world
and a nightlife scene that the rest of the world can only stand back and stare at in
awe. You should allow at least two days for Madrid.
MADRID GRANADA
4¼ hours Along the A15 4½ hours Departs Madrid Chamartín station.
Granada ( Click here )
The pinnacle of Islamic architecture in Europe is to be found in the beautiful city of
Granada. The Alhambra might well be the most sublime sight in Spain but
Granada is a city with more than one trick up its sleeve. The cobblestone streets of
the Albayzín , or old town, are straight out of North Africa and the city's tea shops
and boutiques will keep you enthralled for hours. If time allows tack on an extra
couple of days for the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains and the snow-drop villages
of Las Alpujarras .
