Parque Juan Carlos I

We decided to use some of our spare time to check out a massive park dedicated to one of the previous kings of Spain, there were supposed to be some tandem bikes for us to rent but they were all out when we went so we just walked around and checked everything out....

 Hand statue in the park... pretty cool

 Ya, definately was ready to throw up here

We had to break a couple of the rules in the park to be able to get to this ledge

Of course no trip is complete in the park without sitting in gum!

Oviedo and Leon

 The Church of St. Mary at Mount Naranco, or in spanish, La Iglesia de Santa Maria del Naranco... was a palace and then a church dating back to 848, consecrated in 866!

 Don't know why but it's suprisingly fun

 These pictures above and below show the amazing architecture and craftmanship of El Catedral de Leon.

Burgos and Santander

Segovia

SEGOVIA!!!

So just chillin right now at 1 a.m. on the couch resting my feet after a long day while watching an edited version of Saving Private Ryan. Today we went and visited Segovia which is a town to the north of Madrid. The hour and a half ride to the small city was very scenic and well worth the trip, check out some of the pictures below:

 The aqueduct located behind these flowers and buildings is the most intact roman aqueduct in the world.

In fact the aqueduct splits the city in two, is still technically useable and was used up until about 1930 even to bring water into the city.

 Sitting under one of the arches on the hill of the aqueduct.

 One of the churches that houses a lot of the tombs of past bishops with the Gothic style church in the background.

This castle is actually one that is claimed to be the inspiration behind Walt Disney's castle at Disneyland.
