Our nuevo compañero de piso Alex, Markel and I ventured to Segovia for an afternoon of Roman ruins and delicious Spanish delights. After a long night of eating and dancing with my co-workers the previous evening, the viaje to higher elevation was much needed. We saw the Roman aqueducts, the enchanting alcázar that inspired Disney's castle, and the plaza mayor that a large ornate cathedral overlooks. To eat the afternoon, we ate huevos revueltos with chorizo and potatoes... such a classic, greasy Spanish dish that I allow myself every now and again!
The following morning, a small grupo of us went north again to Cercedilla to take a dip in the piscinas naturales. Although they didn't look at all natural (in fact, looked much more like actually pools than springs that I was expecting), the water was definitely fresh and without chemicals. After getting a bit lost upon arrival, we met with friends and had a picnic on site. I love Spanish picnics... there was pollo empanado (breaded chicken), tortilla española, some Lambrusco (sparkling rosé wine), a quiche lorraine (ham and cheese), and our all-American sub-sandwiches with avocado and turkey. Mmmmm, what a meal perfecto before resting in and alongside the pool....
