Day 1 - Segovia
Road trip | Day 1. View from hotel window in Segovia, north west of Madrid. A historic city with medieval walls, Romanesque churches, a gothic cathedral and an ancient Roman aqueduct.
Hotel was grand - Áurea Convento Capuchinos. Best sights - the palace and cathedral. Best eats - El Sitio tapas bar. Many good places for drinks off plaza mayor.
250 miles from Bilbao. 6 hours riding with detours. 1 rookie error - riding on a *very* windswept mountaintop motorway. Stick to A and B roads.
