    This wall is probably the only attraction and reason to visit Ávila.

    The views from the walls are amazing but unfortunately, we had joined a day tour and the guide rushed us through. We only walked a very small section of the wall but we still managed to take some very cool photos.

    Not really worth a full day trip to Avila unless you do it together with Segovia.

    The Catedral de Avila is an impressive Gothic and Romanesque structure in medieval Avila. My wife and I went to Avila on a day trip from Madrid. The entry fee was a little steep and we had limited time, so we didn’t go inside.

    These caves are spectacular! I’ve never seen anything like them. It cost just 10 euros and was worth every cent! There are plenty of places to park, get food or drinks. Our sat nav was short of the location, so I would advise to keep on driving if at first you see nothing. The roads a good all the way there and the sign posting is also good.

    From its location, one is afforded a great view of the city walls. I only returned this time to get a photo of the Ávila letters sign.

    My wife and I visited Avila on a day trip from Madrid during a visit this past spring. Our guide took us to the Basilica de San Vincente at the end of our tour of Avila. It is very impressive on the interior of the basilica. The gold plated altar is beautiful and the carvings on the martyrs’s tomb is very colorful. The Basilica is not to be missed when visiting Avila.

    I arrived at 11:30 and throughout my one hour visit I was the only one there. The entry cost of €4 is good value for the solitude.

    I loved walking around the three cloisters

    A must for Catholics or anyone interested in the life of Saint Teresa of Avila. Beautiful view of the city walls from outside. Bring euros for the €2 fee or gift shop because they don’t accept credit cards.

    We were here in the days leading up to the feast day, so we felt we should see this. It was a nice church but not terribly notable in our opinion, and we didn’t stay long (partly because Mass was about to begin). But if in Avila, you should go. It’s free

    Avila is a wonderfully preserved medieval city. It is very clean without any graffiti. The walls surrounding the old town are in good condition. The Catedral de Avila, the Basilica de San Vincente and the Convento de Santa Teresa are three of the impressive buildings in Avila. Is easy to walk through the medieval part of town in an afternoon. My wife and I enjoyed our visit to Avila.

    I hiked here in 2005 with friends from Madrid.
    We hiked to a lake where we swam and sunbathed.
    I loved the goats, and the scenery was spectacular.

    Here you could understand why the bees are fundamental for our lives!
    It is an instructive talk about bees and in the end you can interact with them.
