Visit to Avila, Spain

It was winter during the month of March when we visited Avila. I thought it was not so cold in Avila like in Madrid, Spain but it was really freezing cold. The blowing of the wind made more cold and chilly. I ended up buying a pullover in one of the souvenir shops in Avila located near the tourist office.

Have you heard about St. Teresa of Avila? I just read a part of it online and I believed how lucky I am to visit Avila. I would suggest to my dear readers to also browse this saint online. Her life is truly interesting.

I was talking with a lady I met in one of the parties I attended. She said that she wants to visit this city in Spain. She was also in Madrid but did not had the chance to visit Avila.

This Spanish city is located in Castile and Leon. It is famous for its medieval walls. It is known by many as the “City of Pebbles and Saints.” I find the city very interesting and if I have the chance to visit it again in the future, I would surely do.

I took  some shots during our visit last March 2012.

    Hello,
    About ten years ago I made a road trip to Extremadura. On my way back to Madrid I stopped in Avila. I wish I could have stayed longer.
    Here are my photos. You can also link back to other photo galleries and to my Travel Letter.
    Thanks for reminding me of a wonderful trip.
