Exploring Spain: Pamplona, Burgos, Segovia, and Friendly Faces in Madrid

Cotty and the Blue Gnu, turning our cozy setup into a gourmet ramen kitchen on wheels!

How Cotty would try to escape the bulls in Pamplona.

Love to see a bit of real life in these beautiful places.

Gorgeous Spain countryside.

Stepping straight out of a real-life fairy tale, this castle was the actual inspiration for Disney’s Cinderella Castle. It was hard to get a super good pic as we struggled to navigate the extremely narrow cobblestone streets.

The Segovia Aqueduct is a masterpiece of balance and endurance. Built nearly 2000 years ago around 50AD without a speck of mortar, each stone perfectly supports the next, showcasing Roman engineering at its finest. It’s astonishing to see how pristine it remains, looking as if it could have been constructed yesterday despite enduring earthquakes, wars, and the passage of centuries. This ancient structure comprised of 166 arches is an incredible UNESCO heritage site that welcomes you into Segovia. The Segovia Aqueduct was primarily used until the mid-19th century as the main source of water for the city of Segovia there are references to the aqueduct being used well into the 20th century, its primary operational period ended in the 1800s.

This 12-sided structure built by the Knights Templar in Segovia is known as the Iglesia de la Vera Cruz.

A magical drive through the snowy woods and over a moutain pass on the way to Madrid.

Over 1800m this ski resort was above the tree line!

So lucky to be able to spend time with friends in Madrid! Also a great chance to reset the Gnu and get ready for our next adventure! Look at our incredible view!!
