Discover Segovia with your rental car
Welcome to Segovia, a small city that you will fall in love with. Its aqueduct is considered the most important work of Roman civil engineering in Spain. Both it and the old city were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985. If you do not want to miss anything that this amazing city has to offer, keep reading this practical guide that we have prepared for you from the Furauto team.
The city of Segovia, located at the confluence of the rivers Clamores and Eresma, is populated by about 52,000 inhabitants. Its historic center is pedestrianized but you can use your rental car to visit some natural sites in the area that are a short distance from the city. The Guadarrama mountain range or the natural park of the Hoces del Duratón river are two examples.
But if we talk about emblematic enclaves, it is almost an obligation to mention the aqueduct of Segovia. It is thought that this Roman building dates back to the Flavian period, when Vespasian and Trajan were emperors. Its main function was to transport water from the Acebeda River to supply the city.
Although the construction of the aqueduct has played an important role in the history of Segovia, there is much more to tell about the origins of this city. The first settlements in this territory date back more than 60,000 years.
After hosting a Celtiberian castro, the city passed into Visigothic hands. At this time it was named episcopal seat of the Catholic Church. After the Muslims came the period of the reconquest, led by Alfonso VI of Leon and Castile around 1088.
Among the most important tourist attractions of Segovia are its Holy Week and the Feasts of San Lorenzo, San Juan and San Pedro, San Frutos and the Virgen de la Fuencisla.
And you cannot leave Segovia without enjoying its suckling pig or suckling lamb. In addition, the typical gastronomy includes rosquillas, soplillos, florones and ponche segoviano (Segovian punch).
Illustrious personalities of this town are the comedian Eva Hache, the actress Lucía Jiménez, the musician Juan Valdivia and the film director David Pinillos.
