Segovia from the heights

17 September 2025

Some cities can be admired by strolling through their streets. Others are best understood from a distance. Segovia, on the other hand, is at its best when seen from above. There is something special about seeing it from above. The rumor of the day is far away, history is clearly drawn and everything seems in its place..

Urban viewpoints, such as Valle del Clamores or Postigo del Consuelo, allow visitors to discover how the city unfolds between hills, rooftops and bell towers. Each corner seen from above acquires an unexpected harmony. The Cathedral rises elegantly among a sea of roofs. The Alcazar looms majestically, as if still protecting the city. And the Aqueduct, which from below imposes, from the heights amazes by its serenity.

There are less traveled paths, walks through high areas of the old town, along sections of the wall or quiet slopes, which offer new perspectives. They are ideal for those who are looking for another way of looking at Segovia. With pause. Without maps. And when the sun begins to go down, the light becomes softer, cleaner. It is that moment when the whole city seems to hold its breath.

At the end of summer, when everything starts to calm down and the days still keep their light, looking down from the heights is not only a matter of aesthetics. It is also a way to breathe better, to regain balance, to leave behind the accelerated pace of the previous weeks

After a walk like this, you want to continue with that same feeling of tranquility. At Hotel Cándido, rest finds its place. Spacious rooms, silence, natural light and that calm that brings everything back to its place.
