Ciudades Patrimonio de la Humanidad: Ávila (TVE, Ciudades para el Siglo XXI)
AVILA
Stone and Spirit
Shooting match with the Ages of Man, an opportunity to tour the ecclesiastical heritage of many small towns in Spain. But Avila is much more: its history is linked to the spirit of mysticism, and particularly to San Juan de la Cruz and Santa Teresa, daughter of the town home. Monasteries such as the Encarnación, and churches such as San Jose involve specific fields of the life of the saint.
Avila's wall, is cathedral, Romanesque, but also steak and beans of the boat, or its famous amarguillos buds, a cuisine that is cold as a reason, because it is the highest altitude capital of our country. The medieval market is halfway between marketing and entertainment but in the context of Avila is even more appropriate, as well as international assets Mystical Studies Center. There is also an extramural Ávila with nurseries, libraries, parks and townhouses, a city that tries to approach the contemporary while respecting their history.
