Avila & Segovia

Hola
We had a long day today traveling to Avila and Segovia. These two cities have a rich heritage dating to the Roman era. Avila is a walled city with a Cathedral that was begun in the 12th century. We saw the finger of Saint Theresa and learned of all the good she did in the 15th century.They would take parts of the saint after death and spread them around to different areas. Lots of churches and souvenir shops around every narrow street.
Segovia is dominated by the remains of a Roman aqueduct from the time of Christ. We also toured a massive gothic Cathedral and Alcazar castle .
Lots and lots of walking. Grateful for my senior friends who set an enjoyable pace.
