(67)4/15 Itinerary: Pedraza and Sepulveda: Towns that still retain the breath of the filter


  We left the church of Vera Cruz on the outskirts of Segovia at 12:40 PM (8,700 km), and arrived at the medieval city of Pedraza an hour later (8,750 km). We came here on the recommendation of a Spanish tour guide we met at a Segovia café. Founded around 400 BC, the town developed into a nobleman's villa district after the expulsion of Muslim forces around 1400. Upon arrival, we found the town's stone houses, weathered by the passage of time, but still considered one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Spain.

(67)4/15 여정: Pedraza와 Sepulveda: 중세의 숨결을 그대로 간직한 마을

세고비아 외곽 베라 크루즈 교회를 떠난 시간은 오후 12시 40분(8,700Km), 한 시간 후 중세의 고도 Pedraza에
도착했다(8,750Km)
세고비아 카페에서 만난 스페인 여행 가이드의 추천으로 이곳에 왔다.BC400년 부터 생긴 이 마을은 1400년 경 이슬람 군을 몰아 낸 후부터 이 마을은 귀족들의 별장 지역으로 발전하였다.  이 곳에 도착해보니 마을은 돌집으로 오랜 풍상에 마모되었지만 스페인에서는 가장 아름다운 중세의 도시로 평가하고 있다. 

                        Pedreza is in the province of Segovia, and is just one hours drive away from Madrid. Although clay pots found buried in the area suggest that people lived in clusters in the area as early as 400 B.C., it was not until the Spaniards reconquered Castilla from Arab occupation in the Fourteenth Century that the village began to grow, and dukes and nobles built residences there. The village is full of large houses where nobles lived during the middle ages. Until recently, many were derilict, but in the past 25 years houses, streets and the castle itself have been restored and as you stroll through the streets, you feel that the local inhabitants are very proud of their village.

The door was closed from 12 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so I couldn't go in. 12시 부터 오후 4시 까지 문이 닫혀 있어 들어 가지 못했다.

                          The Plaza Mayor in the old town, tourists are enjoying the atmosphere of the square that still retains its medieval appearance.

                                             We also had lunch with a sandwich and salad, along with a glass of beer
                                             우리도 맥주 한잔에 센드위치 그리고 Salad로 점심 식사를 하다.

As a souvenir, we met a woman going to a festival on the way out. 떠나는 길에 만난 축제를 하러 가는 여인과 기념으로

We left Pedraza at 2:40 and arrived at Sepulveda, a village in the most beautiful valley in the Segovia region (8,775 km). 2시 40분 Pedraza를 떠나 세고비아 지방에서 가장 아름다운 계곡의 마을 Sepulveda에 왔다.(8,775Km)

         Hidden within the impressive canyons in 'Las Hoces del Río Duratón' National Park, Sepúlveda is one of the prettiest villages in the province of Segovia with just one thousand inhabitants. The village has narrow streets, restaurants, local crafts shops and museum.

Easily accessible from Segovia, Madrid and Valladolid, in an extraordinarily beautiful setting,

Sepúlveda is an ideal location to spend a day or even a weekend. There are a number of accommodation possibilities from small hotels to rural houses (casas rurales). The village still retains its authenticity and so far remains unaffected by tourism.
Sepúlveda is home to the largest colony of vultures in Europe. Almost 600 pairs of these birds have found a home in its rocky canyons which provide an ideal habitat for them to build their nests in. The birds form part of the attractive panoramic views and can be seen flying over the village.

                                                        The valley beautiful.  계곡은 아름다워,,,

This square is also quaint                       이 곳 광장도 고풍스럽다

Iglesia de la Virgen de la Peña : .This church dates back to the 12th century and is located in the highest part of the village offering panoramic views of the canyons. There is a park next to the church. 여기는 12세기에 건축된 교회다

                                        It was located on a high place in the village, so the view of the valley was nice.
                                                           마을의 높은 지역에 있어 계곡을 보는 View가 좋았다.

She says that when she remembers memories, she thinks of happiness. 추억을 기억하면서 행복을 생각한다고 그녀는 말한다.
