Tour description

Starting in the Plaza de Santa Teresa (or Mercado Grande) we will tour the streets, squares and most interesting corners of this walled city, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985.

After entering the interior of the wall, we will take an interesting tour of the Plaza de Adolfo Suárez, the Plaza de la Catedral and Calle San Segundo to then see the Basilica of San Vicente.

Later, we will see numerous Renaissance palaces from the 16th century, as well as the Plaza del Mercado Chico to then approach Reyes Católicos Street. We will also look out over the popular Paseo del Rastro and stop in front of the Church-Convent of Santa Teresa, an essential character in the history of Avila. We will end the tour in the Plaza de la Santa.

Throughout the tour we will discover legends, curiosities and the best kept secrets of the city, we will focus on illustrious figures such as Santa Teresa, Isabel La Católica or Adolfo Suárez , and we will also talk about gastronomy.

We wait for you!
