About Avila Plaza Mayor

Any trip to Avila is incomplete without a visit to the Plaza Mayor, the central feature of the medieval city's old town. The imposing Cathedral of San Salvador, the font where St. Teresa was baptized, and the beautiful Church of San Juan surround this small enclosed square. Avila's main shopping streets are just off the square, as are numerous bars and restaurants where you can sample delicious Spanish cuisine. From this central plaza, the bounty of the city's cultural and historic offerings are just steps away.
