This city is known as "land of songs and saints". And so, thousands of people arrive here every year, attracted by the fame of its walls, some of the best preserved in the world, and also by the figure of Saint Teresa , the first woman to be named a doctor of the church .

We will surround its wall, its emblematic monument, entering and leaving the walled city in search of its most interesting monuments, reviewing its history , learning about the Vettona culture , its Roman past , its birth as a city in the Middle Ages and its splendor in the XVI century , until reaching the current Ávila.
