We loved visiting the walled city of Avila, and especially enjoyed our visit to the Cathedral. As with all large, old, stone buildings, it was cold in November. Rug up! It is beautiful and worth the visit.

This was my favourite church in Avila and considering how beautiful the likes of St Teresa's and the cathedral are, that is really saying something. It is situated just outside the city walls and pretty much above the tourist office which is down the steps beside it. It is a stunning Romanesque Basilica and well worth going into. I loved the brightly coloured granite facade with all the elegant columns and arches. It costs only €2.30 to go in and you get a very detailed audio guide to help you around. Stunningly intricate inside with amazing iconography and artwork. I wished I had more time there to be honest as I visited it last after spending a whole morning inside the city walls. An absolute must see in my opinion.

The most attractive feature of Avila. Very well maintained formidable walls. For five euro, you are given access to parts of the upper walls for a great walk.

So pleased we included Avila in our road trip, it surpassed all our expectations. A lovely old city, wonderfully preserved and very clean, that has embraced modernity whilst retaining sympathy with the historical architecture. We relished every aspect of our time here both by day and night. Walking around and then on top of the wall was very special and strolling around the city, both inside and immediately outside the walls, was very enjoyable indeed. Being almost traffic free it was peaceful and made getting around to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the sights very easy. Lots of bars to enjoy drinks and tapas, this being a town where you are given a substantial tapas with every drink.
