A day Trip in Avila, Spain
I can’t forget our visit to this city. First and foremost, the name Avila is also the family name of my Auntie whom I did not see for over a decade now. I hope to see them once again when I go back home.
The day sightseeing we had in Avila was truly a memorable one. I went there with new friends I met from Madrid. We rode a train from Chamartin Train station in Madrid going to this city. I could still remember, I was freezing that day because the weather was really cold. It was the very cold wind that made it really freezing cold. As we happened to stop-by a souvenir shop that also sells long sleeve fleece jacket, I immediate bought one. I wore it on top of my fleece jacket also. I need a wind breaker that time but there is no one on the area because most shops were closed that day because it was a holiday in Spain.
Over all that visit to Avila was a worth-one especially that I had a lot of fun with my new found friends in Madrid. Thank you ladies. I had a great time with you all!

Avila is notable for having complete medieval city walls which were built in the Romanesque style. It is also one of the cities with the highest number of Romanesque churches, Gothic churches and catering establishments in relation to the number of its inhabitants.
