Avila's remarkable features include its 2,500-meter-long, completely preserved Romanesque city walls dating from the 11th to 14th centuries, its cathedral, and its location at an altitude of 1,150 meters. Beyond the surrounding, expansive fields, towering mountains can be seen in the distance. A beautiful panorama.
