 If you travel to Salamanca by car, you will pass the small city of Ávila. Surrounded by the best-preserved medieval defensive walls in the world, Ávila is an incredible sight. These walls date back to the 11th century and still boast 88 small towers.

Just so you know:
Legend has it that the city was founded by one of Hercules' sons. The city is identified with Santa Teresa, the sixteenth century writer, monastic reformer and well known Spanish mystic. |
