The president Tabaré Vázquez made this Sunday a private visit to the Spanish city of Segovia, where he saw one of his most well known monuments, the roman Aqueduct, which is a world Heritage site, and had lunch roasted suckling pig, a typical dish of the province.
During the official visit of six days to Spain and before the meeting Monday with the president of the Government, Mariano Rajoy, Vázquez was dedicated to sightseeing in the Spanish city, located some 90 kilometres from Madrid, as reported by local agencies.
At the foot of the Aqueduct (II century), which, like the historic center of the city, has the declaration of Patrimony of Humanity of Unesco, Vázquez was received by the mayor of Segovia Clara Luquero, and the subdelegada of the Government in the region, Pilar Sanz.
No formal acts fulfilled by being a private visit, the uruguayan president, his wife and their companions made a tour of the center, where they visited the Cathedral and the Alcazar, which was the seat of the kings of Castile in the medieval period, and the Royal College of Artillery, founded by Carlos III.
The walk concluded with a lunch at the famous restaurant that bears the name of "Candide", who was an Innkeeper Greater of Castile, to taste roast suckling pig and other products of the earth.
