Three cities in one day: Segovia, Avila and Toledo from Madrid

Description

Toledo, an ancient city perched on a hill above the plains of Castilla La Mancha, is known as the "city of three cultures", due to the centuries-long coexistence of Christians, Arabs and Jews. Toledo preserves behind its walls an artistic and cultural legacy in the form of synagogues, mosques and churches and an impressive Cathedral, one of the wonders of the city. Segovia, located in central Spain, in the province of Castilla y León, with its old town and Roman Aqueduct. Its centuries of settlement resulted in a rich architectural legacy, including medieval walls, Romanesque churches, an ancient royal palace and a Gothic cathedral. The other city we will visit is Ávila, the provincial capital of the region of Ávila, also a municipality in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. The Old City of Avila, with its churches outside the walls, was founded in the 11th century to protect the Spanish territories from the Moors. The historic centre and its walls were included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
