Today we visited the Jewish sector of town, la Judería de Segovia. We went to the Jewish cemetery as well. They use to bury them in caves and dig out graves in the rocks. They have only unexcavated a tiny bit of the area, but I did get some photos of the exposed caves and rocks where bodies were buried.
Then it was home to study for our big test on Friday!
A puppet festival is coming to Segovia in a couple of weeks as it does every year. They put up this carousel along with a bunch of stands for art shops in preparation of the festival. The carousel is soooo crazy! Totally different than the kind we have in the states! Enjoy the photos!
The cemetery is up on this big hill that is covered in pine trees!
This is an example of a grave...

There were a TON of caves in the Jewish cemetery. They have only excavated a small portion of the hill, so it is unknown how many graves and hills there may actually be!
Great view of The Alcazar from the cemetery!
The AMAZING carousel, check out the creatures/things that the children ride on! It's not just horses, in fact there aren't any horses at all!
