On your day trip from Madrid, you'll stop at hilltop Los Cuatro
Postes to admire superb panoramic views before visiting Avila's San
Vicente Basilica. Tour also includes a visit to
Avila's cathedral.
Ancient hill-top Avila has been declared a
Unesco "Heritage of Mankind" city, and is famous for its intact city
walls and 90 towers dating back to the 11th century. The city was the
birthplace of the mystic writer Saint Teresa of Jesus (1515-82) and is
an important pilgrimage site.
Next, it's on to Segovia to see
one of the best Roman-era monuments on the Iberian Peninsula - Segovia's incredible aqueduct. Built in the time of Augustus, the
aqueduct has 118 arches and is 10 miles (16 kilometers) long, although
just a fraction of its length remains visible today.
Segovia is
also famous for its Alcazar, a beautiful 11th-century medieval fort
that inspired the design of the Disney castle. Step back in time and
imagine the medieval tournaments that once took place and the heroic
knights who fought here.
On this day trip you have the option of
including a tourist-style lunch or superb gastronomic lunch featuring
local Segovian specialties.
