Segovia

Segovia in the rain

Rain is most frequent in May, October and November, with nine or ten rain days a month. The Alcázar, the cathedral, the Casa de Moneda, the Machado house and the churches are indoors, so a wet day is easy to fill. Keep the aqueduct and the valley for a dry spell, since the paths are slippery.

  • Stops under a roof: 11
