Take a tour from Madrid and discover these two unique cities with outstanding monuments roman as the Aqueduct, gothic, etc which brings you a full vision of the most traditional SpainAvila is one of the oldest cities in Spain, surrounded by very well preserved medieval
walls from the XI century, resembles rather an immense castle, and it is the best
sample of a fortified city. The old quarters hold an important number of Romanesque
Churches, Gothic Palaces and its XII century Cathedral, the first Gothic one built
in Spain, is also fortified. The city is the birth place of Ste. Therese, source of the
Spanish Catholic mysticism. Visit the outskirts of the Cathedral, the Romanesque
Basilica of San Vicente, Mayor Square and a brief walk through its old streets to see
the Convent of Ste. Therese.
The city of Segovia is rich in historical monuments. Old Roman city, still preserves
the magnificent Roman Aqueduct from the time of Emperor Augustus. The elegant
Cathedral, and its Alcazar fortress, the most spectacular castle in Spain, are the
most representative. Both towns, Avila and Segovia, are “Heritage of Mankind cities”.
