Lerma to Siguenza

We had a lovely drive today on backroads, basically south, to Siguenza. Every time we saw a sign pointing to something interesting we stopped to check it out.

Next we saw a sign for the Mirador de Galiana. Mirador means viewpoint. It was a pretty phenomenal view.

Next we saw a sign for a Roman canal. We walked down a short path and found a tunnel that was part of the 18 km long canal.

Eventually we came to Siguenza. The Parador is at the top of the hill in the town. We have stayed here twice before in 2016 and 2018. We had our welcome drinks and a sandwich overlooking the courtyard.

For dinner walked down the hill about half a mile and 210 feet down to a wonderful restaurant called El Fogaril Gastrobar. We had a delicious tasting menu and enjoyed talking to the owner. Before we left we talked to a couple from Florida who were sitting next to us. He was 79 and she was 76. They have been visiting Spain for many years since he was stationed from 1968 to 1972 at the U.S. base outside of Seville.
