SEGOVIA/ EL ESCORIAL
Crackling wood
A falcon diving
A simmering stew on the fire
Walls of granite
Greek goddesses, Italian frescoes and Flemish roofs
The breeze coming from Santa Teresa
Mystery, faith and symbolism
Clear spring water flows over a Roman aqueduct
The secrets of the Sierra de Guadarrama

El Escorial: a monastery as the center of the world
The piedra imán between a golden wall of books
Luca Cambiasso's frozen fingers
Between pudridero and pantheon:
Carlos V and Felipe II pray for the suffering San Lorenzo
Kings, queens, princes and princesses
lie peacefully side by side under the basilica
Autumn Palace, Hospital for the Poor and University
A granite marvel at the mouth of hell



Segovia
A Roman aguaduct towering proudly above the city
Snowy mountain peaks though dramatic background
A carafe of red wine with a roast cochinillo
The golden crown is placed on Isabela's head
Business in narrow alleys, an old judería
Artisans and craft beer
Enjoy the friendly atmosphere on the Plaza Mayor



Sierra de Guadarrama
The imperial eagle spreads its wings
Mountain goats hop across the clear water of a river
The snow water drips from the pine trees
The mountainside turns yellow
A peaceful village square, a stork on the church tower
A royal palace is never far away
Lovely villages, castles and rugged mountains
