The Segovia Cathedral is a little simple. The huge church does not have complicated decorations and sculptures. The terracotta exterior is also a little unique, but it fits the style of this city. The Cathedral is the latest Gothic church completed in Spain and is a late classic of Spanish Gothic architecture.

Construction began in 1525 and was opened in 1768. Three architects successively presided over the project. The turret was originally 105 meters high, the tallest church turret in Spain. It was later struck by lightning and rebuilt to 88 meters high. There is a fee to enter the cathedral, 3.5 euros per person. I think every church is similar, so I chose to save this "small money".

The Alcazar Castle was built after the Romans ruled and was expanded in the 12th century, so it has both Roman and Arab styles. In addition to its military value, the castle is also a witness to many important events in Spanish history: the Queen of Castile ascended the throne here in 1474.

Before 1570, the castle was one of the palaces of the King of Spain. King Felipe II and Sina held their wedding here. In the 16th century, it became a prison, where some important people were imprisoned. In the 18th century, it became an artillery school. In 1862, the castle was destroyed by a fire. It was rebuilt in 1882. Now it is a military archive and ancient weapons museum.

When I saw the Alcázar fortress in person, I found that it really looked like the Disney fortress! Oh, that’s the opposite, in fact, the Disney fortress and the Alcázar fortress are exactly the same!

Especially the dark blue top of the tower, which looks like a witch's hat. But this castle is much more impressive than the castles built in Disney World. I have always believed that only castles built in such mountains can interpret the perfect fairy tale of princes and princesses living happily together.

The interior of the castle is far less exciting than its exterior. Perhaps because it has played many roles, including being the king's palace, a prison, an artillery school, a military archive, and an ancient weapons museum, there are various exhibits in the castle: the weapons room, the king's hall, and so on.

The road from Segovia to the bus station was actually very short, but Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo walked for a long time. They walked and stopped, felt the breeze, looked into the distance, and took pictures. For Chinese people, such days may not be many in a lifetime, so Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo cherished them especially.

When Yunluo returns to her ordinary life, she will think of this journey and everything here. Traveling is to bring such meaning to Yunluo. It allows Yunluo to temporarily escape from the complicated world and live only in her own will, go wherever she wants, walk whenever she wants, and stop whenever she wants.

There is a passage that Yunluo agrees with, which roughly means: When you are writing a PPT, the cod in Alaska are jumping out of the water; when you are reading a report, the golden monkeys in Meili Snow Mountain are climbing to the top of the tree. When you are squeezed into the subway, the mountain eagles are circling in the clouds; when you are arguing in a meeting, the backpackers in Nepal are sitting by the fire with their glasses in hand.

There are roads you can't walk on with high heels, air you can't smell with perfume, and people you'll never meet in an office building. The world is big. Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo's curiosity should be bigger than the world. Travel and go crazy in your best years. There's another saying that's also very good: If they don't go crazy, Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo will get old.

On the way back, don't just look at the company logo on the car body, but also remember to confirm with the driver whether the destination is Madrid. Dido, the most famous roast suckling pig restaurant in Segovia, is worth a visit. It is located next to the aqueduct. Not only does the roast suckling pig here taste good, but the location is also excellent. The King of Spain once hosted a banquet for the President of the United States here, so it must be good.

The exterior of the Alcazar is 100 times more beautiful than the interior. It is not recommended to visit inside.

Today is the busiest day of the year in Madrid. The enthusiastic and unrestrained people of Madrid will celebrate their Madrid Civic Festival, also known as the Celebration, crazily on this day. When I came back from Segovia yesterday and passed by Puerta del Sol, I saw citizens setting up a stage. This festival originated from a victory of Napoleon.

Yes, you read it right, it is Napoleon, the French one. On May 2, 1808, Napoleon's army suppressed an uprising in Madrid, so this day became a memorial day in Madrid. Madrid people who enjoy life certainly cannot miss any memorial day, so they turned this day into a festival.

You can take a holiday, you can party, and there are also a variety of celebrations such as concerts, open-air dancing, bullfighting, etc.

It is said that the Spanish are good at "bridging" holidays. For example, if Thursday is a holiday and Friday is a normal day of work, they simply take Friday off and combine it with the weekend. It is not like in China where they have to go back and forth. Well, they are just not good at arithmetic.

It was a pity that Yan Chenyu and Yunluo could not see the start of the carnival. This morning, Yan Chenyu and Yunluo had to rush to Madrid Airport and take the 11:05 flight to Doha. From the hotel to the subway station, they deliberately went to Gran Avenue. The Gran Avenue on a sunny day was indeed full of vitality and enthusiasm.

It’s a pity that I missed the opportunity to experience it properly. Let the legendary passion of Madrid continue to bloom in my dreams.

If you use 10 subway tickets to take the line to the airport, you need to add 3 euros for each ticket, and a single subway ticket to the airport is 4.5 euros. Because Yan Chenyu and Yunluo are too lazy to communicate with the Spaniards who also speak poor English, Yan Chenyu and Yunluo usually use the self-service ticket machine.

Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo could only gesture and explain, and had to point out the suitcases she brought, and act out the appearance of the plane. Finally, she finally understood, and then began to tell Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo in fluent Spanish how to use the 10-trip ticket and the airport ticket. The general meaning was to use the 10-trip ticket first. But when leaving the airport, you have to use the airport ticket.

Qatar Airways is at T4, Line 8 (Airport Line) and you can get there by taking it all the way to the main station. It's very quick from the city center, about half an hour. After you get out of the subway, just follow the signs and you'll find the Qatar Airways counter. It's very easy. Madrid's Barajas Airport is the fourth largest airport in Europe.

It is second only to London Heathrow Airport, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and Germany Frankfurt Airport. However, those who want to shop will be disappointed. T4 has almost no big brands, and the few brands, such as Lowew, Burberry, Montblanc, etc., are only some accessories.

Charles de Gaulle and Fiumicino in Rome are still more exciting! So if you want to go to the airport and have a flask at the end, don't do this plan.

Although there are no big brands, the prices of chocolates in airport duty-free shops are still very good. After summarizing, chocolates in European airports are much cheaper than those in Rishang, especially cheap chocolates, which can be more than 30 yuan cheaper for a large piece. Friends who like to eat chocolate must not miss it, and it doesn’t cost much to buy it as a gift.

They are also very beautiful. For example, the chocolate in a barrel from Lindt costs only 11 Euros, which is less than 100 RMB. If I remember correctly, it costs 130 RMB per barrel at the Capital Airport.

The plane took off on time at 11:05. The land of Spain was getting farther and farther away from Yan Chenyu and Yun Luo. The second trip to Europe was coming to an end. It was not perfect. Maybe future trips could not surpass the last trip to Paris and Italy, but every trip would bring the most unique memories.

For example, the broken bridge in Avignon, the red carpet in Cannes, the Arab woman who helped Yan Chenyu and Yunluo in Grasse and the tourist who gave Yunluo a map in the rain, the tree root colonnade of Sagrada Familia, the mosaics of Park Güell, the pure white Albaicin district of Granada, and the big skirts at the April Festival in Seville.

A brief trip with a handsome foreign man, the garden-like alleys of Cordoba, the panoramic view of Toledo, the miracles left by the Romans in Segovia. Oh, yes, and the handsome wine man in Valencia~ Yunluo gained a lot along the way, including beautiful scenery, history, experience and memories.

A few years ago, I saw an article about Germany's Romantic Road in a travel magazine. I have always wanted to drive along this historic road. Over the years, I have traveled to many European countries by chance, but Germany has never been on my schedule.

It is the most beautiful season of the year in southern Germany again, and there are finally no more unplanned trips. What are you waiting for? Head to Yunluo’s dream romantic avenue and the mysterious Black Forest!

After we started planning our trip, friends gave us suggestions. The most common suggestion was that Austria was beautiful at this time of year. So, we added Austria to our trip list. Before we left, we asked a friend who had just traveled to Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic in the first half of the year for his opinion. The conclusion we got was that the most beautiful and charming places were the small town of CK in the Czech Republic and Prague.

So I changed my schedule temporarily and added Czech Republic to Yunluo's itinerary. Due to time constraints, I decided to give up the famous Neuschwanstein Castle which was under renovation and Vienna which was a little far away. It was also a logical excuse to visit Germany and Austria again.

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

I have to admit that Yunluo was too greedy this time and didn't want to miss any beautiful scenery. But as the trip unfolded between the city and nature, Yunluo became more and more convinced that no matter how much hard work it was worth it.

Every country and every city has its own unique expression and character, which makes Yun Luo's body bewitched by a certain nerve related to it. Germany is like a gentleman in the Middle Ages, serious and rigid, but always exudes a great demeanor in politeness. Austria is like a graceful and charming lady, gentle and delicate.

Her every move and gesture reveals her artistic temperament. Czech is a quirky beauty, sometimes with a fairy-tale dream, sometimes with a passionate and uninhibited spirit, which makes people intoxicated.

The frenzy of Munich's Oktoberfest, the simplicity of Rothenburg, the romance of Heidelberg, the tranquility of Lake Titisee, the coldness of the Black Forest, the mystery of Lake Königssee, the magic of Innsbruck's Crystal Worlds, and the elegance of Salzburg, the music capital.

The diversity of the Wolfgang Lake area, the coziness of Hallstatt, the fairy tale of the small town of CK, the passion of Prague... Wandering between the city and the mountains and rivers, Yunluo couldn't stop and couldn't help but feel, explore and discover!

Apart from the good location, Yunluo can hardly say anything good about it. The front desk is small, with only one person on duty. The service staff either have a blank expression or force a fake smile, which makes people feel uncomfortable. The room is so small that you can hardly turn around. You go to bed as soon as you enter the room. There is no place to spread out the suitcases.

Breakfast only includes coffee, bread, simple cheese and ham, but it is not included in the room rate and needs to be paid separately at 10 euros per person per night.

Since the location is good, let's praise its location. It is only a two-minute walk from the Karls-platz subway station, and on the only side of the subway station with a direct elevator, which is very suitable for friends who take the subway with luggage. There are many places to eat in the subway station, which is convenient for staying in a hotel without breakfast.

It is only 5 minutes away from Karlsplatz and 15 minutes away from Marienplatz. It is 2 subway stops away from Oktoberfest Square.

The hotel usually costs about 70 Euros, but during the beer festival, Yunluo booked a room for 206 Euros. This is not too much. Another hotel that Yunluo likes also costs about 70 Euros, but during the beer festival, the price rises to more than 260 Euros.

The path in front of the hotel is a pedestrian street, so it is not easy to find if you drive here. After parking, you still need to drag your luggage on the uneven cobblestone road to the hotel, which is relatively inconvenient. But it is only a few minutes away from the City Hall, so it is still very convenient to visit on foot.

There is no elevator from the first floor to the guest rooms upstairs, so you need to carry your luggage up the stairs by yourself!

The hotel rooms are a bit dim and old, which may be related to the fact that the houses here are all old houses from the Middle Ages. But the big balcony really makes people feel comfortable. If possible, Yunluo likes to book a room with a balcony like this, so that he can sit on the balcony and drink tea and bask in the sun in the sunny afternoon. (To be continued...)
