The Aqueduct in Segovia
Segovia is hoping to be the European City of Culture in 2016 and has really good chances. Being such a beautiful and cultural city already the city has a good chance and winning the prestigious award.
Soon there’s going to be a celebration in Segovia to celebrate the anniversary of being named a UNESCO city! The basis of the celebrations will be surrounded around the Aqueduct. There’s going to be a projection of music sounds on the aqueduct making it pretty and lit up, reflecting the sounds of people singing! Anyone can join in singing, there’s going to be microphones available by the aqueduct.
There’s also a set up of mirrors reflecting on the aqueduct making it appear to be floating! If you get the chance to see this you should definitely go and make the effort.
If you’re in Salamanca you’re not far either, Segovia is relatively close and we’re also running a trip to Segovia on the 22nd August, the bus leaves at 8am and the trip is 30€ for those who want to join in! People love Segovia, it’s similar to Salamanca in it’s old style and it’s beautiful buildings.
