Wonderful views.
Going through a stroll through Segovia the other day, I found this awesome street that runs parallel to the aqueduct for a short length. To find it easily, go towards Plaza Azoguejo, and you'll see this street, sloping upward alongside the water. The street is divided by the Roman aqueduct, and you can pass from one side to the other through its huge arches. On one side there's a fairly steep slope and traditional houses. It's fully paved and from what I can gather, seems to be entirely pedestrianised. On the other side, there's a number of fairly broad stairs allowing you to make the ascent in a more leisurely fashion.
At various times, you have beautiful views of both the medieval wall and the Roman aqueduct. From my point of view, the most beautiful side is the one that leads directly to the Plaza del Azoguejo because it offers a contrast of styles and heights, quite unlike anything you can see elsewhere in the city. You can find a number of local restaurants here, where you can try regional delicacies like pork. If you ever find yourself in the area, don't forget your camera!
