Embark on a journey to the highlands of Spain and immerse yourself in the rich history of two captivating towns. These picturesque destinations are steeped in monuments from Roman and medieval times, offering a profound insight into the essence of Old Castile.
Ávila, rising from a brown, arid wilderness, boasts awe-inspiring town walls built in the 11th and 12th centuries. These formidable structures, spanning 2500 meters, were a testament to the resilience of the town during the Reconquista. Adorned with 87 stern semi-circular towers, they stand as a symbol of protection and preservation. Once inside, the medieval charm of Ávila unfolds, with highlights including the gothic Cathedral of Ávila and numerous romanesque churches.
Continue your journey to Segovia, a city steeped in legend and myth. The Roman aqueduct, a marvel of engineering, spans over 800 meters and dominates the cityscape. Explore the iconic Alcázar, rumored to have inspired the Disneyland castle, and marvel at the 16th-century cathedral, renowned for its architectural beauty. The timeless charm and vibrancy of Segovia's streets beckon you to wander and discover.

Generally it’s ok. No complaints. However we missed some derails, e.g., we didn’t get into Segovia Cathedral. So recommend this if you’re short of time as we covered 2 historical sites in 9 hours.
