Mirador de la Pradera de San Marcos, Segovia

Description

At this small grassy glade next to the Eresma River and opposite the Casa de la Moneda, you’ll have the definitive view of the Alcázar, which soars above the tree-line unobstructed by other buildings. People stop by all day long for a photo of the north side of the palace. This park forms the grounds of the small church of San Marcos, which merits a quick peek. The best time to be here is in spring, when you can bring a picnic and marvel at one of Spain’s cultural treasures in the sunshine.
