Old Castile: Segovia, the Duero and Burgos
Ten days across the high, wheat-gold heart of Spain: the Roman aqueduct and fairy-tale Alcázar of Segovia, walled villages like Pedraza and Sepúlveda above deep river gorges, the castles and cellars of the Ribera del Duero, Gregorian chant in the cloister of Silos, the Gothic lace of Burgos cathedral, the turquoise falls of Orbaneja del Castillo, Machado’s Soria and the caliphal walls of Gormaz. Fast chargers sit in the towns; the villages between them are short, unhurried hops.
