| Segovia is famous for its Roman aquaduct, built 200 BC. They tested it a few years ago and it still works. |

 |
| No mortar was used in the building of the aquaduct. |
 |
| The Alcazar of Segovia has been a fortress, a royal palace, a prison, a military academy and is now a museum. |
 |
| They started training the knights when they were young. |

 |
| We ate at this restaurant next to the aquaduct famous for its "sucking pig." The man in the center is the current owner beginning the ceremony. He reads a proclamation, cuts the pig with the white plate, then breaks the plate on the floor. |
 |
| The "sucking pig" is very tender. These are the remnants of the part of the pig that was served to Wayne. |
