Ávila City
Enclosed by medieval walls and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, Ávila's old town is one of the best-preserved in Spain, earning the city the nickname "City of Stones and Saints" for its architecture and its ties to prominent Spanish mystics. The walled centre is walkable and dense with historic churches, and the city sits high on the Iberian plateau — the highest provincial capital in Spain — with the Sistema Central mountains visible from its walls.
