It is an alternative, fresh and different gastronomic plan, designed for those who want to break the mold of restaurants with traditional dishes and discover new sensations.

It is very common, especially for those of us who live in Madrid and its surroundings, to plan a round trip during the day on the weekend, getting away from the crowds and the most crowded plans of the city. However, deciding to visit Segovia on a Saturday or Sunday also means assuming that part of the percentage of those people has had the same great idea as you ;). But in our constant search to change the register towards what we believe is the true essence of a destination, its combination with the traditional and the modern, the emerging, what adapts and integrates into a city, we find that this It is also reflected in its flavors. As here it is about traveling, discovering and knowing in any way, wherever and however it may be, here we leave you a new getaway plan to Segovia, specifically to Paloma's. It is an alternative, fresh and different gastronomic plan, designed for those who want to break the mold of restaurants with traditional dishes and discover new sensations.

Paloma's opened its doors in this historic city in October 2023, with a prime location just a 5-minute walk from the Roman aqueduct. Thanks to Silvana, from Madrid, and Jack, English, a couple with a shared passion for good food and travel, and above all for the journey of life, after more than 10 years living in London, they decided to bring their experience and culinary knowledge to Segovia, thus creating Paloma's, a refuge for a more leisurely, relaxed and peaceful experience.
The place, which was previously an old churrería, is now a small and cozy space, which makes it quiet and relaxed, being the meeting point for the city's younger generations, who want to enjoy homemade breakfasts, specialty coffee from Hola Coffee, brunch and delicious meals, dishes and natural wines. Every week they change the menu, which reflects their gastronomic creativity and offers different proposals and flavors, generating constant expectation.

In addition to this must-see visit to Paloma's , thanks to Silvana, we took an exclusive Le Periplo tour of some different corners of the city, which included the Roman Aqueduct, the impressive Alcázar, the Cathedral, the Plaza Mayor, and the Jewish Quarter. Silvana also recommended some characteristic places to get away from the known. Below is a brief excerpt: We begin the route from the Roman aqueduct, ascending the Postigo del Consuelo staircase.
