Description

Join this private day trip from Madrid to the old towns of Ávila and Segovia. First you will discover Ávila, a city renowned for its perfectly maintained medieval walls spanning 2.5 kilometers with 88 watchtowers and 9 grand gates. Walking along these walls will provide you with broad views of the city and its environs. See the Ávila Cathedral, a distinctive construction erected into the city walls bearing evidence of Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Learn all about the legacy of the Convent of Saint Teresa, honoring one of Spain's most powerful religious leaders. Next, head to Segovia, a city rich in Roman history and medieval splendor. In front of the architectural wonder created without mortar and still standing after almost two millennia—the ancient Roman Aqueduct explores the historic center of Segovia to find its meandering lanes and little markets. A highlight is waiting at the Alcázar of Segovia, a remarkable fortification atop a rocky hill. Disney's Cinderella Castle reportedly drew inspiration from its towers and turrets.
