Avila

Today we're visiting Avila which at 1200m is the highest provincial capital in Spain. It's also freezing and we spent the night in a carpark just below the town.

Avila has the best preserved Medieval walls in Europe - it has over 80 towers!!


Em poses outside the town walls - check out the snow!



The walls were the most impressive feature, unfortunately the walkway around the ramparts was closed so we had to walk around the streets inside which were surrounded by disappointingly modern, ugly grey buildings.
