This is one of our star tours. We visit the most attractive parts of the Madrid sierra including the mediaeval village of Pedraza , like a movie set. Bicycling through the lands of Segovia , we stop at villages with Romanesque style churches where the people´s livelihood is drawn from the natural produce of the land they live upon.

Arriving at the noble and 1000 year old city of Segovia , we are cast back centuries in history. We enter under a superbly preserved Roman aqueduct and continue on the beautiful cathedral and the Alcazar (Castle fortress) just like those that appear in fairy tales. Our accommodation is in the centre of the city.

On day 2 we ride up to the Palace of La Granja , once a royal summer residence. The road rises to cross the sierra once more. We ride along a Roman road, flanqued by large pines, trees and brooks. Arriving at El Escorial we are once more surrounded by famous monuments, gardens and palaces that still stand graciously as they did in old times. Our tour ends in Madrid , where we will enjoy the intensity of the city life offering its museums, gardens palaces and well preserved monuments. We normally ride in the mornings, have lunch together, followed by sightseeing and arriving at the hotels in the early evening when time id free.

Segovia is well known for its perfectly well conserved masterpiece of Roman architecture: the aqueduct. You will come across spectacular landscapes, the most interesting monuments and very typical villages in Spain .
