Segovia's Alcazar had a huge tower with 152 steep winding steps. Which were exhausting and a little scary but the view was just breathtaking and it was no surprise to learn that they threw hot oil off to discourage enemies. On the way down Nate and Ben got passed person to person by some concerned Spanish mamas. It was pretty steep after all. We're so glad we took multiple pictures of the knights (check out those pointy toes next to Nate) as Madrid's Palace Museum of knights in shining armor was much better but didn't allow photos. So the boys had great fun at the fortress looking at all the swords, shields, and massive metal covered clubs.
