It always seems like you have to look a little harder for Spain's history when visiting cities like Madrid or Barcelona. Then you arrive in Avila and you are suddenly reminded, yes, there really was a medieval Spain! I like...
The city walls surrounding the city.
The gateways to astonishing views.
The enormous birds' nests atop every chimney and bell tower. (I'm dying to know the bird that builds a nest this size!!)
