town It has amazing, very intact walls from the 11th to 14th centuries, and also three of the most beautiful churches in Spain (!). It’s only 90 minutes from Madrid, but I’ve never seen North American tourists here.
This morning I saw Avila’s children recreating “Lucia Entre Los Christian Y Los Moros” see a large number of children. [fight between the Christians and Moors] Wore toy swords and costumes, some of them dressed like Saudi Arabians in full outfit. This made an impression on me as the Mexican village I was visiting, San Agustin Opan, has a very similar fiesta. History of how the Fiesta was sentdating back to the 16th century. Even the dance and toy swords were familiar to me. How many of those in Opapan even know what “Moros” is? During their second visit to Opan, I remembered that they had no idea what China was, or that they were shocked to learn that there was a Pope despite being Catholic. Of course, it all changed rapidly when it arrived after satellite TV.
In any case, Avila, with nearby Roman Horizons in Segoviaat least a rather underrated visit in North America.
