Segovia day trip
Hi Everyone! Quick question about our day trip from Madrid to Segovia. I'm getting ready to book the train tickets for this portion of our trip. First, do you feel it is necessary to book these now or just purchase the same day? Our day trip will be Oct 26. If you do feel we should book ahead how much time should I allow in Segovia? I thought to leave Madrid around 9 am and return at 8pm. Is this too long? I would like to have dinner in Segovia and walk around in the evening, which in Oct will be earlier. It would be easier to play it by ear but don't want to chance not getting an outbound ticket or not getting the return ticket we want and having to wait hours for the next available train. Thanks for your input, Michele

IMO, no -- I thought it worth even longer! But it should be enough for a nice visit. Do consider trying Segovia's amazing roast suckling pig.

<If you wish to leave at 8pm you'll miss dinner. Lunch perhaps?>
I was hoping to eat around seven, and then walk around a bit, as the last train leaves at 9:30.
Thank you Robert for the restaurant recs. I will put them in my paperwork. We will check out the times when we arrive and then decide lunch or dinner. Maybe big lunch and something light for dinner so we can still walk around at night.

joannyc,
Did you have a preference on the restaurants? I will make a restaurant reservation upon our arrival in the morning. Do you know if they serve the suckling pig for lunch and dinner?
Christina, I was planning to leave Madrid around 9am also, but really wanted to see Segovia at night. Did you make reservations ahead for the train or just wing it?

just a day trip - lovely little city and we probably didn't do it justice but that was our time frame and the foodies in our group 'needed' the pigginess thing.
Great wine from their own vineyards, btw. And the olive oil - oy!
