Ávila is a hill town at 1131 meters altitude, on the banks of the Adaja River. From far away you can see the massive walls with dozens of defense towers – best preserved from all over Spain. The walls of Ávila have been declared a National Monument in 1884. The old town with all the churches inside and outside the fortification are UNESCO patrimony since 1985.
5 lesser-known cities to visit in Spain
When I talk to a tourist, the only cities he knows in Spain are Madrid and Barcelona. Rarely Sevilla is included on his list. I stayed in Spain about six months and I visited as much as I could. Almost every weekend was about a different city. So, dear tourist, let me introduce you five incredibly beautiful places you must know about now and add them on your list!
The Adventure Park in Madrid is pure madness
I’m not at all a fearful person and I thought that no adventure park could impress me to the point that it makes me want to return over and over again.

San Juan, the beach with the finest sand in Alicante
If you spend few days in Alicante and you want to go to the beach, I recommend you the perfect place for that: Playa de San Juan. It’s not far from the city, precisely no more than 30 minutes driving, and it has the finest sand I’ve ever seen.
