Hemingway, Ernest/Location

Question
We would like to visit the bridge and surrounding areas which Hemingway used as the setting when writing 'For Whom The Bell Tolls', could you please tell me where I can find them? Many thanks.

Answer
Hi Jessica,

I do not have an exact location of the bridge, but "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is set in the woods and mountains surrounding the Spanish city of Segovia. Perhaps if you visit the city, one of the tour books would have information on the precise areas of where scenes took place.
