On 20 June 1884, French engineer Charles B. Vauthier recorded the aqueduct’s highest arcade in Segovia at 28.10 m on Plaza del Azoguejo, a data point that underlines nearly 15 km of Roman-grade water mastery from the Guadarrama range. The day reads like a field notebook: stone hydraulics in action, the turreted Alcázar whose outline fed 19th‑century castle fantasies, and cochinillo at Cándido where the plate-cutting ritual, popular since 1932, seals the meal. Then it’s La Granja de San Ildefonso, all clipped bosquets and Baroque water theatrics.
Your dedicated driver collects you at the hotel in Madrid and keeps the Mercedes on standby for a flexible, seamless day: 90 km on the AP‑6 to Segovia, aqueduct and Alcázar first, lunch held for you if desired, while parking and logistics stay off your plate. Eleven kilometers more bring you to La Granja for palace rooms and lead-lined basins, before a scenic return over Puerto de Navacerrada at 1,858 m. With a private chauffeur in Madrid, you taste and tour as they drive and wait, with a quick photo stop at Mirador de la Pradera if the light behaves.

Your chauffeur’s tip
La Granja’s major fountains run only on specific days and times (summer schedule, often 17:30); pick a “fuentes en funcionamiento” day to catch La Colmena or La Fama flowing, and shift your departure accordingly.
