Overview of your Madrid tour:

During the 16th century, Avila will reach its maximum magnificence. In civil matters, it will leave behind its medieval and frontier-city past to become a modern urbe, with over 100 stronghold-palaces of the most powerful families of the time. Religiously, it will witness an authentic revolution carried out by Saint Teresa: an empowered woman born into a noble family, of strong faith and firm principles who will mark a turning point founding the Discalced Carmelite Order, a reform that strives to return to a God-centered life in all simplicity and poverty. A strong character who will lead mysticism in our country together with Saint John of the Cross. Going back to the present: UNESCO declared the city of Avila a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1985. It is a hidden jewel really close to Madrid that we will enjoy from the very first moment we catch a glimpse of its perfectly preserved medieval walls. . . who is up for this trip back in time with me?
