Seeing it in person is truly breathtaking, especially from the bottom of the Plaza de Azoguejo, gazing up at the entire bridge. It's impossible not to want to snap a bunch of photos. Beneath the bridge, the charming streets of the old city await. If you're tired of walking, there are plenty of cafes and eateries nearby where you can relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, and savor the slow pace of Spanish life.

🌟 Tips
Comfortable walking shoes are a must! Most of Segovia's attractions are in the old town, with many stone-paved slopes, so it's recommended to have strong legs. The weather was dry but the sun was quite strong, so it's recommended to wear a sunshade/hat for protection.
