Day
Welcome to your Europamundo Trip Style tour!
We leave around 08.30 in the morning and crossing the central mountain range through the tunnel we travel to ÁVILA. The medieval walls of the city are impressive, we will circumambulate them with our vehicle, and we will make a stop at Cuatro Postes, a religious monument on the outskirts of Ávila from where the best photographs of the walled city are taken. After that, accompanied by our guide we will take a short walk to the old city, declared a World HeritageSite by UNESCO, where we will visit, among other places, the Basilica of San Vicente in Romanesque style, the oldest in Ávila, the Cathedral of El Salvador, the first in Spain that incorporates the Gothic style, the Plaza del Mercado Chico, center of the town, and we will walk through a sector of the wall. You will have some free time to stroll or, if you wish, buy their famous "yolks", delicious local sweet.
We continue to SALAMANCA, we go straight to the Plaza Mayor, where we will have time for lunch. In the afternoon, with our guide we walk through the old city, also declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, highlights the University of Salamanca, where we will see the facades of the Major Schools of plateres co style, the Casa de las Conchas and the two Cathedrals of the city, the Old and the New, separated by the Patio Chico, one of the most charming corners of the city.
Free time.
Today most of the route will follow small roads, allowing us to discover the heart of Castile, charming villages, and two of the most important medieval fortresses in the region. Our first stop will be in Medina del Campo, a small town of pre-Roman origin and one of the most important cities in Castile during the Middle Ages. It was one of the main financial centers in Europe at that time. We will stroll through its Plaza Mayor before enjoying a guided visit to the Castle of La Mota (entrance included), a 15th-century fortress with a dual purpose: to defend the city and to safeguard the most important archives of the Kingdom of Castile. (Note: due to schedule changes, the interior visit of the castle may not always be possible; in such cases, the visit will be exterior only). We then continue to Segovia. Before entering the city, we will drive around it to reach the Pradera de San Marcos viewpoint, offering the best views of the Alcázar of Segovia (which inspired Walt Disney for the castle in Sleeping Beauty) and its walls.Afterwards, in the old town, we will walk through the former Jewish quarter and arrive at Plaza Mayor, where your guide will recommend places to have lunch and enjoy the local specialty: roast suckling pig. In the afternoon, we will explore the city with our guide, visiting the cathedral, the Alcázar, and the impressive Roman Aqueduct of Segovia, made up of 167 arches, built in the 1st century and in use until 1973. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the end of the afternoon, we will depart for Madrid. Arrival around 7:30 pm. End of our services.
