#254 - Segovia Adventures: Castles, Aqueducts, Pork Rinds / Train Drinking / Worst Cities 4 Traffic
Listen now
Description
In today’s episode, we dive into a little tale from my recent adventure to Segovia, a charming town just a short high-speed train ride from Madrid. This place is packed with history, including the Alcázar de Segovia, which looks straight out of a Disney movie (fun fact: it inspired the Disney castles!). We also chat about the ancient Roman aqueducts that still stand tall and how they were an engineering marvel back in the day. But let’s not forget the food! I devoured nearly a kilo of pork rinds—torreznos, as they call them there—and had a blast drinking beers on the high-speed train back to Madrid. We also talk about the famous cochinillo, or suckling pig, which they serve in this region. Trust me, it's so tender they cut it with a plate! We take a few detours talking about train culture in Spain, why public transport beats driving in these old European cities, and even dive into some global traffic jams. We give a shout-out to the Japanese for their impeccable street etiquette and poke fun at Miami’s traffic problems, hinting maybe another wave of cocaine money is what it needs to fix things up (just kidding... or am I?). So grab a brew, sit back, and enjoy the ride as we explore Segovia, roast some pigs, and ramble on about everything in between. Cheers!
