Province: Ávila
Ávila is a province of western Spain, in the southern part of the autonomous community of Castile and León. It is bordered by the provinces of Toledo, Cáceres, Salamanca, Valladolid, Segovia, and Madrid.
The climate is Mediterranean and alternates from severe cold in winter to extreme heat in summer.
The capital Avila, a World Heritage Site, rises under the shelter of the Gredos Sierra. Behind the walls of this capital of Castile-León, a priceless compound is concealed, made up of Renaissance churches and palaces: a silent witness to the bygone splendour of the city when it was a textile power.
Being the birthplace of Santa Teresa de Jesús, the city has a number of religious buildings, inside and outside the walled enclosure, related to the life of the mystic.
Excellent roasts and the famous veal T-bone steak are only a few of the dishes that make up the amazing cuisine of this province, without playing down the wonderful cakes and pastries, especially the renowned "yemas de Santa Teresa" (a sweet made with egg yolk and sugar).
Ávila is a province distinguished by its geographic, climatic and culinary diversity. The fact that three different cultures - Hebrews, Christians and Muslims - lived peacefully side by side in this region resulted in a rich historical legacy.
In Ávila you will discover the beauty of its walls, declared a National Monument; the magnitude of the cathedral and the Royal Monastery (Real Monasterio de Santo Tomás), and much, much more. And if you enjoy good cooking, make sure you try the bean dishes, meat (roast suckling pig, veal and lamb) and the desserts, such as the famous Yemas de Santa Teresa, small candies made out of egg yolks and sugar.
