Hotels in Avila

Where	Avila, the capital of Castilla-Leon, is a World Heritage Site that rises under the shelter of the Gredos Sierra.
When	Situated some 1100 meters above sea level, the temperature can get quite cool in Avila at nights and during the winter. It is perhaps one of the nicest places to visit in Spain during the summer months.
Why	The wall that encloses the town is one of the best kept, medieval walled enclosures in Europe. Its two and a half kilometre perimeter is marked by almost 2,500 crenellations, a hundred towers, six gates and three openings. Add the many Renaissance churches and palaces, it is a place to spend hours enjoying its special history.
Accommodation	There are a number of recommended hotels in Avila (and in the province of Avila) including the Parador that stands on top of the ancient palace of Piedras Albas. Many people enjoy staying in the pleasant Gredos countryside and making day trips to Avila, for example, Navalonguilla, Hoyos de Espino, Hervas, La Iglesuela, San Esteban del Valle.
