Overview

Travel with us to another time by visiting two UNESCO World Heritage cities acclaimed for the preservation of their medieval treasures.
To get there, we'll cross the mountains and enter another region, Castilla y Leon.
We'll first go to Ávila, where from a strategic point, we'll be able to see almost entirely its walls encircling the city. We'll admire its Gothic cathedral, the Market Square, and follow in the footsteps of Saint Teresa until we reach the church dedicated to her.
Following Ávila, your driver-guide will take you to Segovia. Initially, we'll pause to capture stunning photos of the city's castle, considered the best spot for this.
We'll have free time for lunch to recharge before the guided tour of Segovia begins.
You'll start your visit by admiring the impressive Roman aqueduct, followed by a stroll along Calle Cervantes, taking in the vibrant Plaza Mayor where the Segovia Cathedral stands. Optionally, you can conclude your visit by exploring the interior of the Alcazar.

Santuario de Nuestra Senora de la Fuencisla

Lets start with a WOW moment. The Pradera de San Marcos is located right at the foot of the Alcazar de Segovia, which rises imposingly on a promontory. It gives the impression of being a ship (more like its bow) embedded high on a rock. The best view is obtained from this meadow.
