Excursion around Ávila with yemas de Santa Teresa
The visit to Ávila runs through the interior of the city, completely surrounded by medieval walls, where historic buildings and streets follow one another in a dense sequence spanning from one period to another.
About this event
Ávila, on this tour, is made of stone and silence: the walls, old quarters and religious spaces form a dense historical layer through which the walk runs.
The visit takes in the city centre, included on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The first thing that sets the pace of the tour is the imposing medieval walls, which completely surround old Ávila. Beyond them, streets open up where Romanesque and Gothic buildings coexist, integrated into the lively urban setting.
There is a separate thread devoted to Santa Teresa: her traces can be felt in the places that recount the city’s spiritual history and development. The guide links these points in a single itinerary, without abrupt transitions between periods.
The walk runs through cobbled streets and quiet historic quarters, where the city retains its medieval scale. To finish, a tasting of «yemas de Santa Teresa» is included, a traditional dessert that has long formed part of local everyday culture.
