Food lovers, don't miss this medieval town

This "Top Ten Medieval Towns in Spain" not only has the first Romanesque-style building in the region, but is also the most worthwhile place to taste food in Segovia Province. Sepúlveda is known as the "City of Seven Gates" and is one of the most beautiful towns in Spain. It has a superior geographical location, 55 kilometers from Segovia, 137 kilometers from Burgos, 119 kilometers from Madrid, and can reach major surrounding cities in an hour and a half by car. The town retains the remains of its city walls dating back to the 10th century AD and has many cultural heritage sites. It was listed as a historical and artistic site in 1951. The El Salvador Church here is the first Romanesque building in Segovia, showcasing the splendor of the Middle Ages. The town also has an interesting nickname: "Catedral del asado (Barbecue Cathedral)". The wood-fired grilled lamb (Lechazo Asado) here has a crispy skin and tender meat. With such beautiful scenery and the medieval ancient city as its backdrop, wouldn’t it be a pity not to come and take a walk?
