Chapter 952 The Most Beautiful Girl



The bus ticket from Toledo to Madrid was originally for 9:59, but I had to change it to 10:59.

The bus from Madrid to Segovia does not stop at the same station as the bus from Madrid to Toledo. You need to take the subway from the bus station for Toledo to the bus station for Segovia (this is so confusing. I will explain the details in detail when I get to Segovia).

Maybe the almanac really wrote that Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo were not suitable to travel on this day, because the L6 line they were going to take was closed! ! Many people in police uniforms and subway staff cleared the area and set up a cordon. Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo were also cleared out. At this moment, I suddenly remembered the serial bombings in the Madrid subway in 2004.

Because Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo had already used the subway ticket three times, they were compensated for six times, but the time could not be recovered. When they came out of the subway, it started to rain. At this time, Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo completely gave up the plan to go to Segovia today and changed it to tomorrow.

Now the only way is to take the bus. I jumped on a random bus (I could also take the bus if I had a 10-trip subway ticket) and asked how to get to the Bernabéu. The driver mumbled a lot and I got a rough idea of ​​what he said. Anyway, the bus didn't go there and I had better take the subway. I got off at a station with a subway and got on the subway again to find the route to the Bernabéu.

From Line 10, exit Santiago Bernabeu Station and you will see the Bernabeu, the home stadium of the Galacticos and a place that Real Madrid fans yearn for.

Since the weather was fine, I decided to visit the Royal Palace today instead of the one I had planned to visit tomorrow. Who would have thought that it would rain again while I was taking the subway? Even more unfortunately, the Royal Palace was closed. I had learned that it would be closed on May 1st. Could it be that it had already closed on April 30th? Anyway, a heavy rain had almost dampened all my interest, so I decided not to go. Today was the day. I can't say anything, I didn't check the almanac! But can the almanac control what happens in Spain? Haha~

An excerpt from the introduction of the Royal Palace: "The Royal Palace has been the residence of the king from Carlos III to Alfonso XIII. Although the current monarch does not live here, it is still the official residence of the King of Spain.

Every Wednesday, the Royal Guards in brightly colored uniforms perform a changing of the guard at Plaza de América within the palace. The palace is also known as the Spanish Versailles.

When we arrived at Plaza Mayor, it was still raining. Where was the stunning Plaza Mayor mentioned in the LP? Where was the sunny Plaza Mayor that people talked about? All the outdoor seats that the cafes had laid out on the square had been hidden inside the shops to avoid the rain. The street performers on the square had also disappeared without a trace. Only a street band under the covered bridge was still playing heavy metal music that shook people's lungs, but in the end they were also driven away by the police.

Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo walked around the square with umbrellas. They left with regret. Now that they think about it, there is nothing to be disappointed or frustrated about. Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo have enjoyed the sunshine of the square many times, and they should bravely endure the occasional wind and rain.

I used to think that the "Mayor" in Plaza Mayor was a famous person. Later I learned that Mayor means "big" and "main" in Spanish, and Plaza Mayor means large square.

If you look at the map of various cities in Spain, you will find that almost all cities have a Plaza Mayor, but only the Plaza Mayor in Madrid is the one where Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo are standing.

The statue in the center of the square is of King Felipe III, and the square was also built with his support.

On the way back to the hotel from Plaza Mayor, the sky cleared up again. Street artists came out one after another. In Spain, it seems that everyone is an artist.

After dinner at McDonald's on Gran Vía, we returned to the hotel early. God let Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo wander around Madrid for most of the day. Tomorrow is the last full day for Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo in Spain, so we must cherish it. Since Madrid doesn't welcome Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo very much, we can stay in Segovia for a longer time.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such a delicate Segovia could accommodate such a tall and majestic ancient Roman aqueduct; it would be hard to imagine that such unrestrained Spaniards could build such a solemn and majestic Segovia Cathedral; it would be hard to imagine that in such a strategically important place, there would be a fairy-tale-like psychedelic castle.

In Spain, both Arabs and Romans used their wisdom to study water. It was the Romans' colonization that brought more civilization to Spain. The water in the aqueduct left by the Romans has been flowing for 2,000 years, and even the Arabs who came later were reluctant to destroy it.

Today, Rome still has the Colosseum from 2,000 years ago, and in those lands that no longer belong to Rome, there are also relics left behind. The ancient Roman aqueduct in Segovia is undoubtedly the most important historical witness left by the Romans. There is no end to the history of Rome.

There are many small towns worth visiting around Madrid, such as Avila, Salamanca, Toledo and Segovia. Yunluo chose Toledo and Segovia without hesitation. He went to Toledo to see the panoramic view of the ancient city and came to Segovia only for the ancient Roman aqueduct.

The bus stop to Segovia is not the same as the bus stop to Toledo yesterday. You can take Line 6 or Line 10 to Principepio Station and transfer to the bus to Segovia. The journey takes 1 hour.

There are beautiful pastoral scenery on both sides of the highway. A huge cross is built on the top of a mountain, which reminds Yunluo of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that he has always longed for.

Arriving in Segovia, Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo completely escaped from the uncertain weather of the past few days. Thank God for the sunny days that Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo had received. This was the best gift to end their trip.

I thought that this world cultural heritage and one of the most famous attractions in Spain would be crowded like the Forbidden City, but every tourist stood so quietly and attentively at his feet, watching, looking up, and thinking.

Yes, anyone who comes near him will be amazed, and perhaps everyone is thinking the same question: How could the ancient Romans make these crude stones so artistic?

Many materials introducing the ancient Roman aqueduct use the word "miracle", and this waterway built by the Romans in the 1st century AD is definitely worthy of the word. Yunluo was conquered by it at the first sight, not only because of the visual impact, but if you know a little about its history and structure, you will also be as excited as Yunluo.

The aqueduct is divided into two layers and is 28 meters high, equivalent to the height of a ten-story building. It is 728 meters long and has 167 holes. Many of the holes were destroyed during the Arab invasion in the 11th century. They were repaired in the 15th century and were used until the 19th century. Now, its greater function has changed from a water pipe to a spokesperson for Segovia.

Can you imagine that such a magnificent building was built purely by hand? Yun Luo couldn't believe it when he saw the introduction, and he was skeptical after reading it several times. There was no adhesive between the stones of the entire aqueduct, and it was completely built by stacking stones. It was 10 stories high, and they were just piled up one by one, and this pile has been there for more than 2,000 years.

Sunlight is the intimate companion of the ancient Roman aqueduct. Without the sun, the aqueduct would not look so majestic. The aqueduct seen against the sun suddenly becomes gentle, and the large rocks that shine through the sun show the traces of time.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The stone tablet of World Cultural Heritage stands next to the aqueduct, but few people notice it, and no one rushes to take a photo with it. The aqueduct is so great that it does not need a stone tablet to prove its identity. Looking up, its huge body seems to support the entire blue sky.

Walking along the aqueduct, I met them playing music and marching towards me. I didn't understand the lyrics, but I understood the cheerful melody. In such a country, no matter what you see, you are no longer surprised, but you will still be amazed. Such encounters will make Yunluo feel that travel is full of unexpected surprises.

When you climb up the aqueduct, you will feel that the whole city has left its mark. Because of it, Segovia has become a city with reddish-brown sandstone tones. It is no exaggeration to say that after seeing the aqueduct of Segovia, this trip to Spain can be perfectly concluded.

After seeing him, Yun Luo realized that a series of coincidences yesterday led to the sunshine in Segovia today, and made it possible for Yan Chenyu and Yun Luohua to enjoy everything here for a whole day. It was a blessing in disguise.

The most special thing here is that when the guests are seated, the chef will start a welcoming ceremony for the guests. The chef will push the suckling pig over, pick up a plate, welcome everyone, and then quickly cut the suckling pig into three pieces with the plate, dividing it into six portions.

After cutting, the chef lifted the plate high up and threw it down with force. The plate fell to the ground with a thud, and the pieces were scattered all over the floor. Is this "welcome ceremony" unique enough? It is said that in the past, such a welcome ceremony was only open to VIPs and celebrities.

However, Yunluo regretfully said that due to time constraints, Yan Chenyu and Yunluo did not have time to go to this restaurant for a meal. Let Yunluo imagine eating crispy suckling pig, tasting mellow wine, and looking at the aqueduct outside the window.

When you are still immersed in such a warm and quiet atmosphere, the heavy Segovia Cathedral suddenly appears in front of you, compared with the dreamy Sagrada Familia and the gorgeous Seville Cathedral. (To be continued...)
