Avila tours

The medieval town of Avila, Spain is everything a fairytale village should be: ancient stone walls, turreted watchtowers, evocative cobbled streets and misty mountains rising in the distance. Take a private Avila tour and discover the legends of this fabled Spanish town with a charming and knowledgeable local guide. Start your morning at the impressive Puerta del Alcázar, one of the gates leading through the city's stone walls. A walk along these walls - recognized as one of the best preserved medieval fortifications in the world - affords fabulous views over the city and countryside below. Your guide will be sure to take you to Avila's splendid 12th century Cathedral, and to one of the town's famous convents. Be sure to sample the sweets made by the nuns of the Convent of Santa María de Jesúis; their delectable biscuits and cakes are famous throughout Avila. Your guide is keen to design a private Avila tour that reflects your personal interests in their beautiful Spanish town.
