Spain Part 2 - Madrid and Segovia
Jun 7, 202400:49:36Tap to summarizeHere is Spain - Part 2. This episode discusses my visit to the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and some of the artwork that caught my eyes. I also discuss some of the grand buildings in Madrid which I saw on May 20th. Then I take you for the first half of May 21st (Tuesday) to Segovia. Around 30-45 minutes northwest of Madrid, Segovia is like a fairy tale village. The three highlights of Segovia are its alcazar, cathedral, and Roman aqueduct. I would love to return to see more of Segovia.
