Walk through Plaza Mayor and the Cathedral before entering the 17th-century church-convent of Saint Teresa of Jesus, built by the Order of the Discalced Carmelites on her birthplace site.
Enjoy free time with an aperitif including wine, beer, or soft drinks, or continue exploring Ávila independently. Regroup at 2 PM to travel to Segovia.
