About Pedraza

Pedraza gathers stone houses and a long arcaded square inside medieval walls in the hills of Segovia province. The castle at one end of the village, the church of San Juan and the gate of the Villa are the main sights, and candlelit evenings draw visitors on summer weekends. Segovia, with its aqueduct and alcázar, is a short drive north. Spring and autumn are mild and quiet; summer is lively, and winter is cold.
