Co-official and non-official languages of the Spanish state.
I was, what? WTF is that little island of Basque language in Segovia??
And I was today years old when I learnt about gacería or briquero, a language spoken by ~500 people as a first language, and ~5000 passive speakers (they can understand it but can't speak it).
Gacería was born around the 12th-13th centuries among cattle merchants as a code language for their businesses, and though it follows the Spanish pronunciation and grammar, it has influences of literally everyone in the Iberian peninsula at that time:
- Old Spanish
- French
- Arabic
- Caló (Iberian Roma people's language)
- Galician and Basque, due to Galician and Navarrese people leaving their homelands to repopulate the area after the Reconquista.
Some examples of Basque words in gacería:
artón = arto = bread
gazo = gaizto = bad
motillón = mutil, motel = young man
muy = mihi = tongue
ura = ura = water
urdaya = urdaia = pork, meat

Alcazar of Segovia
Medieval Castle
Some say Roman times
In awe of tall palace walls
Castle battlement
So much to be seen
Valley grassy green
Infinite horizon

The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different colour, a different voice.

My photography @sherrylephotography
May 2023. ..posted 12/23
We took the train from Madrid. We got off at the Segovia stop but it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Some tourists decided to walk to Segovia. It was a hot day, we waited to see if a taxi would come. I was relieved when a taxi showed up. Taxi asked old or new Segovia. We wanted historic Segovia. He was a nice taxi driver. He dropped us at a roundabout said we could catch a return taxi here too.
The first thing you see is the impressive gigantic Roman Aqueduct. We walked the cobblestone stone streets. There are some hills and the towns streets do curve around but it's easy enough to find your way around. We walked on some of the city walls, toured the fairytale alcazar and the Roman Catholic Cathedral. We ate at a small cafe and found our way back to the roundabout to catch a taxi back to the small train station. Make sure you check the train schedule.
