Madrid - Avila and Segovia Tour
Embark on a journey through Spain’s rich historical past on this full day guided day tour to the vibrant cities of Avila and Segovia. Known as ‘The City of Saints and Stones’, you’ll begin your tour in Avila, a city where Romans, Moors and Christians all made their mark so you’ll see a unique mix of architectural styles. When walking through the winding narrow streets that once attracted thousands of pilgrims, you’ll see vestiges of the past as you head towards the Convent and Museum of St. Teresa de Jesus. After visiting the cathedral and Basilica San Vincente you’ll then make your way to Segovia.
