Hiking

The Walls of Ávila are one of the city's most emblematic monuments and a prominent example of medieval military architecture. Built between the 11th and 14th centuries, this impressive fortification surrounds Ávila's old town and stretches for 2,515 meters. The wall has 87 towers and 9 gates, the Puerta del Alcázar and Puerta de San Vicente being the most famous.

Hiking

An incredible defensive wall surrounds the ancient city of Ávila. The walls have gone through several transformations over the centuries, from Roman times to the medieval period of the city and its important world heritage. If you have time, walk around the walls, up and down to fully appreciate their powers.
