Segovia (/sɪˈɡoʊvɪə/; Spanish pronunciation: [seˈɣoβja]) is a city in the autonomous region of Castile and León, Spain. It is the capital of Segovia Province.
The name of Segovia is of Celtiberian origin. The first inhabitants named the city Segobriga. This name comes from two terms of the Celtiberian language of the Celtic branch of Indo-European. The term Sego means «victory» (the prefix is also present in other city names such as Segeda and Segontia, cf. German "Sieg") and the suffix -briga would mean «city» or «strength». So the name might be translated as "City of the victory" or "Victorious city".
Under the Romans and Arabs, the city was called Segovia (Σεγουβία, Ptolomeo ii. 6. § 56) and Šiqūbiyyah (شقوبية) respectively.
Segovia is located on the plains of Old Castile, near Valladolid and the Spanish capital, Madrid.
Segovia is one of nine provinces that make up the autonomous region of Castile and León. Burgos and Valladolid lie to the north, Ávila to the west, Madrid and Guadalajara to the south, and Soria to the east. The altitude of the province varies from 750 metres (2,461 feet) in the extreme northwest to a maximum of 2,430 m (7,972 ft) at Peñalara peak in the Sierra de Guadarrama.
Andrés Segovia Torres, 1st Marquis of Salobreña (Spanish: [anˈdɾes seˈɣoβja ˈtores]) (21 February 1893 – 2 June 1987), known as Andrés Segovia, was a virtuoso Spanish classical guitarist from Linares, Spain. Regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, he is seen as the grandfather of the classical guitar. Many professional classical guitarists today are students of Segovia, or students of his students.
Segovia's contribution to the modern-romantic repertoire not only included commissions but also his own transcriptions of classical or baroque works. He is remembered for his expressive performances: his wide palette of tone, and his distinctive musical personality, phrasing and style.
Segovia was born in Linares, Jaén, Spain. He was sent at a very young age to live with his uncle Eduardo and his wife María. Eduardo arranged for Segovia's first music lessons with a violin teacher after recognizing that Segovia had an aptitude for music. This proved to be an unhappy introduction to music for the young Segovia because of the teacher's strict methods, and Eduardo stopped the lessons. His uncle decided to move to Granada to allow Segovia to obtain a better education; after arriving in Granada, Segovia recommenced his musical studies. Segovia was aware of flamenco during his formative years as a musician but stated that he "did not have a taste" for the form and chose instead the works of Sor, Tárrega and other classical composers. Tárrega agreed to give the self-taught Segovia some lessons but died before they could meet and Segovia states that his early musical education involved the "double function of professor and pupil in the same body".
A greatest hits album, sometimes called a "best of" album or a catalog album, is a compilation of songs by a particular artist or band. Most often the track list contains previously released recordings with a high degree of notability. However, to increase the appeal, especially to people who already own the original release, it is common to include remixes and/or alternate takes of popular songs; even new material (previously unreleased). At times a greatest hits compilation is the original release for songs that have themselves been released as a single and charted successfully.
Madonna's The Immaculate Collection is the best selling greatest hits compilation by a solo artist; all of the songs on it are presented in different versions than the original hit versions. The Eagles' Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) is the best selling greatest hits compilation by a group and also one of the ten best selling albums in history. Greatest hits albums are typically produced after an artist has had enough successful songs to fill out an album release. Some artists, such as Mariah Carey, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Kenny Rogers, Aerosmith, Kiss, U2, Dolly Parton, Journey, Los Tigres del Norte, Queen, Kylie Minogue and Billy Joel, have released multiple greatest hits albums through their long careers. Some greatest hits albums are released only at the end of the artist or group's career. For example, My Chemical Romance released a greatest hits album after they disbanded. Other artists, like Eminem have released hits albums in the center of their success. He released Curtain Call: The Hits in 2005 and then Shady XV as a compilation album in 2014.

Filmmaker Christopher Nupen about the film: "In Segovia at Los Olivos, the maestro talks, at his own tempo and in his own very Spanish way, about his calling and plays music by Bach, Torroba, Llobet, Tarrega, Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Granados. Near the end of his life, he said that he thought it the best thing that he had ever done for television. When it was done, we felt that the film had achieved what it set out to do and I thanked the gods and Segovia and my colleagues for that, but still I felt that lt was not enough.There cannot be too many films with our great artists, provided they are well made and with an honest intention, and so, nine years later when Segovia was 84, we made a second and it is completely different from the first. We shot it in the Palaces of the Alhambra in Gran...

We roam the region of Castile, starting in Toledo — so well-preserved and packed with cultural wonder that the entire city has been declared a national monument, on to Segovia for a festive day out with the locals, then to Ávila for a dose of medieval architecture, and finishing with a traditional stroll in Salamanca's Plaza Mayor. © 2004 Rick Steves' Europe
Travel Guide Spain /// Segovia http://maartenkuijken.tumblr.com/ Unesco World Heritage--listed Segovia has always had a whiff of legend about it, not least in the myths that Segovia was founded by Hercules or by the son of Noah. It may also have something to do with the fact that nowhere else in Spain has such a stunning monument to Roman grandeur (the soaring aqueduct) survived in the heart of a vibrant modern city. Or maybe it's because art really has imitated life Segovia-style -- Walt Disney is said to have modelled Sleeping Beauty's castle in California's Disneyland on Segovia's Alcázar. Whatever it is, the effect is stunning: a city of warm terracotta and sandstone hues set amid the rolling hills of Castilla and against the backdrop of the Sierra de Guadarrama.

Take a tour of The Alcázar of Segovia in Spain -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. In central Spain, a mighty, ship-like palace towers above the landscape. Segovia's Alcazar has over a thousand years of history. The current structure was designed in the 12th century. The castle served as a royal palace until the 17th century. It later became a prison, and then an artillery school. The ornately decorated Alcazar houses many halls of art and military memorabilia. Impressive architecture makes it a natural draw for tourists from around the world.
Un once de noviembre
A las siete de la noche
Hombres armados dispararon sin reproches
Contra la gente del municipio de Segovia
Llovia a cantaros, la plaza estaba llena
Varias granadas estallaron en cadena
El nordeste antioqueño todo rojo se torno
Es una cancion por los que murieron alla en Segovia
Y por todas las familias que fueron victimas en Segovia
No van a desaparecer
Nunca jamas de la memoria
No van a desaparecer
Aunque los quieran desaparecer
Llovia a cantaros, la plaza estaba llena
Varias granadas estallaron en cadena
El nordeste antioqueño todo rojo se torno
Es una cancion por los que murieron alla en Segovia
Y por todas las familias que fueron victimas en Segovia
No van a desaparecer
Nunca jamas de la memoria
No van a desaparecer
Aunque los quieran desaparecer
Es una cancion por los que murieron alla en Segovia
Y por todas las familias que fueron victimas en Segovia
No van a desaparecer
Nunca jamas de la memoria
No van a desaparecer
