Segovia and Real Sitio de San Ildefonso

The day was packed of ambitions and extreme heat - not a good combination. David and Elijas went to rent the car and the initial idea was to get 2nd hand car seats.

We headed towards Segovia to see the impressive Roman aqueduct. However, there was very little excitement because the heat was so intense.
