DAYTRIP TO ÁVILA & SEGOVIA

Both cities have a great historical and architectural heritage. Two cities full of history and art reflected in its streets and monuments from different eras.

This is a highly recommended excursion where you can visit one or both historic cities with an impressive monumental heritage of Roman, medieval and Renaissance times.

Ávila hides behind its walls an entire city that retains its medieval charm full of monuments. The walls that are about 2516 meters long, with 87 towers and about 3 meters thick, are the best preserved of its time and together with the historic center of the city have been declared a World Heritage Site. This is a tour adapted to each group walking its streets, visiting its many Romanesque churches and Gothic palaces. Apart from its walls, Ávila has many civil monuments as the Plaza Mayor, its Town Hall and numerous Palaces, as well as religious monuments like its peculiar fortified Cathedral that had defensive functions, the Basilica of San Vicente from the twelfth century and the Convent – museum of Santa Teresa.

Segovia has an old town that, together with its aqueduct, was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. We will visit its main monuments starting with the Roman Aqueduct, 818 meters long, which is the most significant and best preserved monument of the Roman era in Spain, and it has become the symbol of the city.

We will continue our visit to the Cathedral, other monumental civil and religious beauties of Gothic and Romanesque style. Continue to the Alcazar that stands on a small hill where the rivers Eresma and Clamores converge. It was built in the shape of a ship’s bow over an ancient Roman fortification. It is an impressive Palace – Castle that has served as Royal residence and also as a military academy.
