Neighbourhoods of Avila

Avila consists of a number of delightful neighbourhoods:

The 12th-century Catedral del Salvador and 16th century Iglesia de San Juan Bautista church are among its highlights. Waking up in this portion of the city is like being transported to another time.
  • Cuatros Postes: Northwest of the Old Town, this area is renowned for its views of the city walls. You can find the Lienzo Norte Exhibition and Congress Centre here. As such, it's more of a hub for Avila's business travellers.
  • Las Hervencias: East of Old Town, you’ll find Avila’s train station close by for easy day trips out of the city to Madrid or León. Hotels also tend to be cheaper here away from the city centre.
