...I was casually driving along the Spain’s wonderful roadways and was very much in the mood to see a walled, medieval city. As fate would have it I stumbled upon Avila and got exactly what I was asking for. The town is amazing, not only because it’s walls represent the best preserved examples of medieval defenses, but it’s set along a beautiful river in a beautiful region of Spain.

I did not spend enough time there. I hope to go back…
