| Avila is famous for its walls and churches. The walls were originally built almost 1000 years ago. |
 |
| This restaurant did a great job incorporating a medieval colonnade. |
 |
| Avila Cathedral is the highlight of the city. |
 |
| Yes those are two hairy men guarding it. |
 |
| The cathedral is also over 900 years old (at least). |
 |
| The stone used to build the cathedral has an interesting quality, called "blood stone." |
 |
| Pretty spooky |
 |
| The Walls of Avila were built during the Reconquista, when Avila was still a border town of Castile and Leon. |
 |
| What a view! |
