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 monastery is an architectural wonder with three beautiful courtyards or cloisters and the tomb of the king's son among the treasures that make a visit here worthwhile.

Outstanding place for your soul and inner peace. Highly recommended for everyone, no matter what your life interests are you will find something for you in this Monastery. Something very own. It is not only 16th medieval monastery, but home full of hospitality people working in the museum where you can get in touch with Therese of Jesus through many ways. One of them is the one you see directly when entering into museum (the entrance is just on the right side once you enter in the yard where the Cross is) - tangible cultural heritage from 16th century, golden period of Spanish history or “siglo de oro”. In this sense, exhibits involve you in a lifestyle of our famous carmelite nun St. Therese of Ávila, and her beloved Community. Once you are inside, she is the one who immerses you very deeply as everything there speaks out loud, how we would say, about Love of God for people, and this is one of numerous love stories and unique as each of those ever told, or written. Dear Reader, give a chance to yourself to be pampered inside with the pure Love. Explore this hidden gem, who knows what you will discover meeting Carmelite Sisters, museum and its shop full of treasures, or entering into Church of Incarnation where is one very special Virgin Mary - Virgen de Clemencia, who awaits you or few steps more you will discover another diamond in the crown- The Chapel where Therese of Ávila experienced special mercies.. Don’t hesitate to knock on this doors and enter, dear Visitor! Best wishes on this journey!
