On our way, we will be able to see and cross through a tunnel, the Sierra de Guadarrama, which is a mountain range that forms the main eastern section of the Sistema Central Ibérico, the system of mountain ranges along the centre of the Iberian Peninsula. It lies between the Sierra de Gredos in the province of Avila, and the Sierra de Ayllón in the province of Guadalajara.
We will visit the old town of Avila and after passing through its 11th century walls, we will visit the exterior of the cathedral and the Basilica of San Vicente, the Plaza Mayor, and the interior of the Casa Natal de Santa Teresa de Jesús.
Lunch is not included and we will have some free time.
Then we will start the second part of the excursion, our destination, SEGOVIA.
We will contemplate its enormous Roman aqueduct, the exterior of the Cathedral of Segovia, the Plaza Mayor and the Alcazar of Segovia, a great fortress throughout history, which reminds us of the Castle of Snowwhite.
