童話般的小城 － 塞哥維亞 Dream City in the Fairy Tale

西班牙的首都馬德里相信很多人也去過了，絕對不會是陌生的一個城市。的確，它是一個熱情與浪漫交織的城市，讓人好不流連忘返。不過其實，位處它週邊的小城名氣雖小，可是也很值得一去，今天就讓我帶大家到其中一個古老的小城 － 塞哥維亞。

Hello everyone,I believe that most of you have been or heard of Madrid, the capital of Spain. It is definitely a romantic and passionate city and attract so many to people to have a visit. However, today I wish to bring you to the old city Segovia where it is located near Madrid and you could experience the amazing feel there.

塞哥維亞是馬德里以北的一個小古城，於古老方言中有「勝利之城」的意思。這裡也有深厚的歷史背景，有著不少古老的遺跡建築，其中以古羅馬水道、塞哥維亞主教座堂、塞哥維亞城堡最為聞名，當然還有圍繞著老城的古石牆。這裡的建築很多都是以古羅馬風格興建，和諧浪漫之情濃溢，彷彿整個老城都彌漫著溫馨的空氣。

Segovia is a city rich in the historical heritage in which the most famous one is the Aqueduct of Segovia, the Segovia Cathedral, and the Alcazar of Segovia. Of course the Ancient Wall is the must visit item as well.

塞哥維亞距離馬德里不遠，可於馬德里乘搭大巴，路程約二小時。車程中間還會經過另一小城科利亞多，可惜這次時間不足不能一一停留觀光。也好，給了我一個下次再度到來的藉口。

It only took about 2 hours for me to travel to Segovia from Madrid by taking the bus. And the bus would pass through another beautiful town Collado.

這裡先要跟大家說一個來旅遊必定要注意的事項，就是記得記得記得乘坐大巴一定要預先買來回票，不然得花時間排隊購票，影響觀光時間之餘，還可能會遇上票賣光的情況。記得那天我回程時就有兩個女生沒買到回程票，巴士司機還得湊合讓她們坐同一個座位，好不狼狽。

And here I would like to give a piece of advice to you if you are interested to go Segovia. Please be reminded that to buy the return ticket in advance, or you would risk the sold out when you queue up in the bus station in Segovia.

回歸我的旅程，經過大概兩個小時的車程，我終於來到了塞哥維亞。巴士站在城郊，我還要向城中心走好一會，幸好只不消多時，我轉過街角，眼前便出現了壯觀的羅馬古水道橋了！我愈行近水道橋就愈覺它的宏偉，能親眼目睹這古人智慧的結晶品，實在是震撼不已。我邊走邊拍，穿過水道橋走，這邊便是此城的主要大街，商品、旅館甚麼的很多都雲集在這裡。可是這邊雖是中心地帶，人流還不算過盛，我也可以好好走在街上，感受悠閒慢活的氛圍。話說，西歐的建築還跟東歐的真有不同，風格迴異，卻是各有特色。

Ok let's back to my journey. The bus arrived in the urban area in Segovia and I had to walked for a while to reach the town center. Firstly I arrived at the Aqueduct and it stunned me for a while. The Aqueduct was amazing beautiful and was a great masterpiece of the ancient Roman. I could not even think about how they could build the amazing aqueduct. I walked through the Aqueduct and arrived to the main walking street in Segovia.

古羅馬水道橋是伊比利亞半島上保存最好的古羅馬遺蹟，也是塞哥維亞的地標，自建造成兩千多年來一直為塞哥維亞輸送水源，養活著這座小城。

The Aqueduct was the best-preserved Roman heritage in the Iberian. It was also the landmark in Segovia, provided a clean and sufficient supply of water to the city for almost two thousand years.

這裡一旁有個旅客中心，旅人如我都可在這裡取得觀光資訊，還有一個實物地圖，可看到古水道，主教堂，城堡等的分佈位置及比例，頗為有趣。

The tourist center here got the mini model of the city, showing the attractions. What a lovely model.

出來後我向旁邊的樓梯走去，爬上水道橋的高處，從不同角度欣賞這座美麗的古建築。

I climbed up to the top of the Aqueduct and enjoyed the beautiful view of the city from the high ground.

來到這邊便是一條條古老街道的起點，一直通往城內的主要廣場。道路兩旁都是充滿古老味道的建築、裝飾，走在當中我彷彿來到了一條穿越中世紀的時空道路。

I walked along to the Main Square. The buildings and pavements made me feel like I was living in the medieval age.

---

來到主要廣場，其實這裡面積不大，今天也不是週末，人流算是稀少，可我很享受這片寧靜。這邊一旁的是政府的市政廳，裝潢樸實，卻不失美觀。

There was the town hall in the main square. There were few people walking around, may be because today was not the weekend or peak season for the tourism. I loved and enjoyed the peaceful moment.

另一面的是主座大教堂，它的規模真的是十分之大，我還未能為它拍下整全的照片呢。這天好像因為內裡有活動進行，所以未有對外開放，我也先行去遊走一遍外城，欣賞這老城的堅厚城牆。

The other side of the main square was the Segovia Cathedral. It was such a huge building and I couldn't even take its whole picture. I planned to go inside but it was closed for some kind of religious activity. I kept moving to the outer ancient wall.

走往外城途中，我途經塞哥維亞城堡。這裡就是傳說中「白雪公主」式的城堡，是女生夢寐以求的地方，的確，情人們在這個浪漫的地方約會，彷彿會化身成童話故事中的王子跟公主，過著幸福美滿的生活，羨煞旁人。可是我是一個人啊，我還先要去圍城走一圈，所以先過門而不入，繼續到外城牆看看。

I passed through the Alcazar of Segovia. It was called the 'Snow White Castle' as you could see how it looked like the castle in the fairy tale. I bet girls would love the place with the excess amount of romantic atmosphere.

---

古城牆真的很古老，它那沒甚修飾的外表，歷經風霜，別有一翻味道。配合這天的湛藍的天色，抬頭望去，我心中的沉重突然一掃而空，清澈澄明。

I loved the ancient wall here. There was not much decoration or maintenance. It's raw and I like it.

---

老城其實不算大，我大概走了一圈，回到經過的那個崖邊小平台，放眼望去，地平線清晰的劃分天地，草原一望無際，小屋小房在地上點綴著。人生在世，其實渺小的可以，儘管面對如何困境，其實心存希望，努力面前，雖敗，也已無愧；要知道，天空即使再灰，也會有散去的一天。

The old town of Segovia was not that big. I walked almost surrounding the town and returned to the cliff I passed by. The view here was amazing gorgeous. Wide shot, beautiful, colorful. I couldn't help to take so much pictures here.

最後，送上塞哥維亞的全景照，謝謝你的細閱。
