Segovia - Cochinillo Asado; not Andres Segovia

We started in Madrid, went to Segovia, see Segovia , and then north east toward Bilbao.

Segovia, the town, is not the birthplace of the famous classical guitarist, Andres Segovia, and is not near it - Segovia was born in Linares, in the south, see ://www.travelpost.com/EU/Spain/Andalucia/Linares/map/1911452.

Here in Segovia, not far from Madrid, is a beautiful palace with an exhibit of medieval armor and weaponry. Near the aqueduct is a cluster of find cafes. See Segovia at ://goeurope.about.com/cs/segovia/a/segovia_spain.htm. And here is the late Andres Segovia, 1893-1987://www.classicalguitar.net/artists/segovia/.

Big roast pig. Do not confuse with the delicate roast suckling pig, cochinillo asado, Spain
.
Cochinillo Asado - roast suckling pig - this site says the piglet is 21 days old and has had nothing but mother pig's milk. See ://oneforkonespoon.blogspot.com/2007/10/roast-suckling-pig-in-segovia.html. Find a recipe here - you did good if you can cut it with a plate.
