Walking in Segovia, Spain

The old walled cities in Spain are surrounded by modern subdivisions and shopping areas but the older cities, such as Segovia, are very conservatively maintained within the original city walls. Many of the streets are shared between cars, trucks, and walking people, but when the pedestrian traffic reaches a certain level, the streets are turned over almost completely to pedestrians. Segovia is a "tourist" city with its historic structures but it is surrounded, outside the wall, with modern shopping areas and other businesses. The inner city is mainly preserved for pedestrian traffic except for some major streets.
