We went to explore the historic city of Ávila Spain. It is located in the autonomous community of Castile and León and is the capital of the province of Avila.  

We explored the narrow streets and historic centre of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Winding  our way along some of the unique streets inside the walled section of the city.

We walked along the streets and came across many interesting architecture buildings and churches.

The city is located more than 1,130 m above sea level and ther enclosed old town is located within  11th -14th century medieval walls.  The walls are very impressive and one of the main landmarks in the city.  We walked along the perimeter of the wall  which is approximately 2,5 Kilometers  (2,734 yd). The imposing walls with its semicircular towers and 12 m (39 ft), high walls is quite impressive. 

There are  9 gates in the fortified walls with some providing access to the top walkway of the walls. We went up to the top of the wall and were greeted with stunning views of the city and area. 

We walked along the top of the wall exploring the views and fortified sections of the wall.

It truly was amazing to think of the history and time that has passed on these walls. 

The sun was setting and we were able to see a spectacular sunset on the wall of Ávila.

We walked the wall partway then headed down for a well deserved break and something to eat. Back in the main plaza we found ourselves a nice spot to enjoy a meal and drink.

A great way to end the day of exploring and adventure.
