Walls symbol of the city of Avila, built in 1090 on ancient Roman remains by Raimundo de Borgona

They are the symbols of the city and were built in 1090 on ancient Roman remains by Raimundo de Borgoña, son-in-law of Alfonso VI of Castile. They still surround the city in its entirety (2,516 m in perimeter, 88 towers and a few posterns). Among the ashlars that dominate the construction, note the ancient stones from ancient Roman remains, such as cistus. Unfortunately, it can only be accessed in a short stretch from the Parador Nacional. However, the views of the mountains from here are breathtaking.

Ville parfois oubliée par ses voisines GIJÓN et OVIEDO mais tellement authentique qu'il est dommage de ne pas s'y arrêter et s'y restaurer. Joli centre historique avec rues pavés superbe muraille et maisons à balcons typiques. Il fait vraiment bon s'y balader et se poser pour un gastro dans de bons restaurants avec terrasse sur la rue où une bonne cidrerià, que du bonheur !

Sublime et rarissime, que ces remparts en bonne état qui font d'Avila la Carcassonne de la province Castille & Leon. Ne manquer la vue panoramique sous aucun prétexte
