One of our first views of the city taken from the bus.
This is a good view of what the walls look like from the North side as we head up the hill to the entrance. This was taken from the bus.
That's the main gate into the walled city. The girls with cameras are part of the students who wre in our bus tour.
A view of the city facing more or less to the north, taken from atop the north wall.
Looking from from tower to others due south. The city is located outside the wall to your left.
A view south from the top of the Wall. Beautiful country around here.
Notice the storks atop the flying buttresses of the cathedral.
This is a statue of St. Teresa of Avila. Located outside the west wall and next to the fountain you see below.
A beautiful fountain pool that you could see by looking down from one of the towers on the west wall.
Our guide. He was really good and very enthusiastic. Ramiro was paying close attention to his description.
A beautiful view of the abutments of the wall on the north side.
The staircase that takes you up to the top of the wall. That's John and Salma waiting for the guide to buy tickets to allow the group to climb up there.
This is the Basilica of San Vicente, which is located outside the walls.
A lovely view up to the nave of the Cathedra of Avila, which is located inside the walls and the altar is actually built up against part of the wall on the West side.
The pieta.
A view up to the ceiling. Notice the beautiful windows that permit light into the nave of the church from either side. This is a beautiful church and is supposedly the first Gothic architecture chuch in Spain.
