Excursión de un día completo a Ávila y Segovia desde Madrid

Full-day excursion from Madrid to Ávila and Segovia, two cities in Castilla y León. It combines a walking tour of Ávila's walled old town with a visit to Segovia's Roman aqueducts.

The day begins with a visit to Ávila, whose historic centre is surrounded by the city walls. On foot, you walk its streets and pass Romanesque churches, the 12th-century cathedral and Gothic-style palaces, while looking back at the life of Saint Teresa of Jesus, who was born in the city.

Next comes the journey to Segovia, where the focus is on the Roman-era aqueducts that still stand and on the history of the city. Travel between the different points is by coach, which makes it possible to get around both towns without worrying about transport.

It is designed for those visiting these cities for the first time or with little time to spare, and for those who prefer to discover the centre on a walking tour. The departure is from Madrid.
