Ten lovely days of elegant entertainment and culture
with private parties in the heart of a city dating to pre-Roman times.
Segovia is a beautiful city standing on a rocky outcrop
between the Eresma and Clamores Rivers,
3,300 feet above sea level
and 7 miles from the Sierra de Guadarrama.
Its proximity to high mountains makes Segovia
a place with a cold but Invigorating climate.
Freezing temperatures are common
during the lengthy winter season.
This, in turn, favors the exuberance of nature, proliferation of forests,
streams and landscapes of great beauty
Segovia has been given the nickname of the Stone Ship.
This is because the profile of the Alcázar Castle,
perched on the rocks, resembles the prow of a ship
while the Cathedral tower serves as the mast.
Lyricism aside, Segovia is one of the richest cities in Spain
for monuments as well as historical and cultural traditions.
It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage City in 1985.
The primary host for your Segovia Experience is Spanish-born and U.S. educated Cayetano de Cabanyes. An architect, 
entrepreneur, scholar, philosopher and Don of the Palace (to which you will be personally introduced)) that has been in his family for over four generations. Tano will arrange our accommodations and host the primary functions of this adventure.
Tano’s father, Caytano de Cabanyes y Mata, a well-known architect in Spain, who designed the first Madrid Airport, had a vision for the palace that he partially remodeled while preserving its XVth century historical integrity.
Your second host is American John Robert Beardsley, world-renowned Sword Master, director/action coordinator for film and 
theater and owner of Touché International. He will make the U.S. arrangements and will assist in all details once the group arrives in Spain. Upon arrival in Madrid, there will be a shuttle to Segovia, your base for your stay and the variety of interesting sites in Segovia which are within walking distance of your lodging.
Upon commitment, you will receive a packet of the events/expeditions during your stay.
Some of the interesting sites in Segovia within walking distance of your lodging include:
The city is famous for its first century Roman Aqueduct which was built of granite ashlar without mortar or clamps.
was built over 4 centuries beginning in the 11th century and the cathedral in the center of the city. Needless to say, there is much more history in this ancient city, which can be ingested with the local culinary delights and native wines.
Your stay will be designed by and several parties hosted by Tano Cabanyes at his home in the heart of Segovia.
Using Segovia as your base, recommendations for investigating the beauty of Spain on various day trips, including Madrid, will be offered. There will be a hosted day trip for the group to the Ribero de Duero wine region, the best wine-producing area in Spain. Several parties at the palace will allow you to hear plans for the restoration and the investment opportunity being formulated…On day seven a shuttle to Madrid will be provided for three more days of culture and adventure until your scheduled departure (if desired…).
