The Cathedral
in Avila, not quite as spectacular as some cities I've been to,
but still beautiful. |
 |
This was taken
from the walls of the city, it's a side shot of the Cathedral
with the cool 'sun fingers' |
 |
This is the inside
of the Cathedral but I *never* took this picture ;) |
 |
Convento de Santa
Teresa, built on the site where she was born. A side chapel is
built on the site of the room where she was born. |
 |
I'm being lazy
and not putting this photo separately. But this is the Cross
from El
Valle de los Caidos as seen from the highway to Avila. |
 |
|
Most of
the streets inside the old city are cobbled and very narrow.
Some barely had room for a car! |
 |
Puerta de
San Vincente, one of the many gates in the walls to get into
the old walled city. |
 |
This is taken
on the road from the bus station as you walk toward the old city.
|
 |
Another shot
of the walls, this is from inside the old city. |
|
From the top
of the walls, I just loved how the walls cast the shadows on
the snow. |
 |
|
Again, from the
walls but this one is looking over the old city to the far walls. |
|
|
|
This 'corner'
of the walls was quite spectacular, very castle-like. It was
also as far as I walked before my knees said enough. |
