Spanish Conquest
Segovia, Segovia, proud city on a hill,
So steeped in ancient history, your beauty charms me still.
The Roman aqueduct remains a marvel to admire
And cobbled streets wind upwards to the golden Gothic spire.
You boast a princely palace with a fairytale allure,
And cultural traditions which from time long past endure.
Yet something greater draws me to the city of Madrid-
For architecture can't compete with bread rolls stuffed with squid!*

* Madrid is famous for its culinary speciality of calamari(squid) sandwiches
