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

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

Subsequently, we will see numerous 16th-century Renaissance palaces, as well as Plaza del Mercado Chico, and then head to Calle Reyes Católicos. We will also take a look at the popular Paseo del Rastro and stop in front of the Church-Convent of Santa Teresa, an essential figure in the history of Ávila. We will end the tour at Plaza de la Santa.

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