Casa-Museo Antonio Machado
When the great Spanish poet taught French in Segovia from 1919 to 1932, he lived in this boardinghouse. The modest structure is more a remembrance—almost a shrine—than a true museum. Documents, drawings, and other mementos try to conjure the poet, but they aren’t half as evocative as the little courtyard overgrown with flowering cacti and hollyhocks gone to seed.
