The advantage of living in Madrid is that you can easily escape for day trips or short weekends. Segovia, Salamanca, Aranjuez, or even Alcalá de Henares, charming tourist cities, are not lacking around the Spanish capital. So, I took advantage of living in the Spanish capital to discover Ávila. Located in the region of Castilla y León, it is known for being one of the highest cities in the country, at 1182 meters above sea level, and above all for being surrounded by a completely preserved medieval wall. So, let’s find out the best things to see in Ávila!
