Avila

Ella and I went back to Avila. It was a really fun trip! We made a new friend on the bus, and got to spend the day with her. The walls are so magical. It was especially fun since much more of the walls were open this time than last time I came.

We liked wandering through the alley ways and exploring the city. The alleys are twisty and curvy,  and very narrow. 

Avila has some pretty cool history, as it is the birthplace of Catholic mysticism, a major movement within the religion, especially in Spain. We visited the Encarnación convent where St Teresa was visited by Christ.
