Spectacular Segovia, part 2
It's late Sunday night/Monday morning, and I can't sleep so I thought I'd get up and do something useful until my body is willing to cooperate. So...here's the next entry on Segovia. It's late so my writing will be grossly inadequate for the subject, but I know you'll forgive me. :)
The HISTORIC TOWN CENTER

The center of old Segovia is the shady Plaza Mayor, lined by an eclectic assortment of buildings and cafes. My little camera doesn’t do groovy wide angle shots, so here’s my (poorly) stitched together three shots of the Plaza:
Here’s an example of a typical street in the historic town center:
And here’s one more image of Segovia to leave you with, until tomorrow:
