My Adventures in Spain (Day in Segovia)

13435465_986523528134868_4688533428725830463_nMy name is Miranda Toman and I am going into my senior year as a psychology student at the University of Akron. Spain has been an absolutely incredible experience that I will never forget. One of my favorite excursions we took in Spain was Segovia. The town was very old but beautiful. Luckily the rain held off until the very end of the trip and the weather was absolutely beautiful. There was also a lot of people playing music in streets which made it very pleasant to walk through the streets.

While in Segovia, I also tried the famous dish of the city, Cochinillo. It’s basically a part of a baby pig (including the bones and organs) which was a little too weird for my liking, but I’m really glad that I tried it. The beans served with it was definitely worth it though because they were delicious. I would definitely recommend trying this though because it was a fun experience and it actually wasn’t that bad.

The most interesting thing i found about this was that it wasn’t even built by the romans. A wealthy family that lived there wanted one built, so they did. If you go, I highly recommend climbing all the way to the top. It’s not that bad of a climb and its totally worth it. It’s an incredible view.

Segovia also has a beautiful cathedral. It is probably my favorite out of the ones I have seen while in Spain. To me, it doesn’t look like all of the other ones. It has it’s own unique flavor. I was hesitant at first to go in because it cost 3 euros but it absolutely worth it. I definitely recommend seeing this cathedral.

This is  what most of the streets in Segovia look like. They are very small, simple, and elegant. I also got some pretty amazing raspberry cheesecake helado in small shop on a road similar to this one. So I definitely recommend exploring the city if you get the chance. You never know what you might find!  13327518_982031205250767_1647457207655300442_n

Here’s just a few of the amazing students from Akron that i traveled with. Going to Spain has helped me make 13 really close friends who I will never forget 🙂
