Segovia 

One of the most visited cities in Spain, famous for its mediaeval streets, its Roman aqueduct, its Alcázar (Moorish fortress-cum-palace: the one in Segovia is said to have been the inspiration for the castle in Disney's "Sleeping Beauty"), and its gastronomy, Segovia is a must-see if you are based in Madrid and worth going out of your way for anyway. This is a very unmunicipal city council site, nice to use though confused, and not much of the English-language content really is. For tourist information, you'll do better at Turismo de Segovia, elsewhere on this page.

Alcázar de Segovia 

Segovia's Alcázar (combined fortress and palace) is said to have been the inspiration for Disney's castle in "Sleeping Beauty." This is the official site, so far as I can tell: history, general information, the Alcázar as museum, its different rooms, and more.

Royal Segovia Mint

Mesón de Cándido 

The most famous restaurant in Segovia, Old Castile and possibly Spain, renowned for its Castilian roast meats - suckling pig, lamb and kid, slow-roasted until it can be cut with a thick plate - has, in Frommer's words, "fed, over the years, everybody from Hemingway to Nixon." .

Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban Vicente 

To quote from this website, "Esteban Vicente (Turégano, 1903 - Long Island, 2001)," was "the only Spanish member of the first generation of the New York School of Abstract Expressionism in America." This gallery is worth visiting for the building alone, a royal palace constructed in 1455.

Turismo de Segovia 

Segovia's long-awaited municipal tourism information website does not disappoint - it is exemplary, entertaining and informative and as comprehensive as you could reasonably expect (though a little more information about the city's sights, particularly its less famous ones, would have been welcome). But the site covers Segovia as world heritage site, how to reach Segovia, getting to know Segovia (guides, tourist information and so on), Segovia's sights, monuments and museums, tours (suggested walks), gastronomy (Segovia is famous for its Castilian roast meats, especially cochinillo, suckling pig), arts & crafts, shopping, free time and leisure (cinema, theatre and nightlife), cultural Segovia (art galleries and the like, but also including fiestas, this is Spain, after all), accessible Segovia (Segovia for the blind or disabled), different ways to "discover" Segovia (language tourism, religious tourism, family tourism, nature tourism), and Segovia as a conference venue. In addition, it has very useful directories of hotels and restaurants. All in all, nine out of ten.
