Avila, a beautiful walled city

From Salamanca to Avila, a beautiful walled city, 177km, 1hr 53min. Checked in to the accommodation booked outside the city because it has parking, restaurants and is a tourist attraction. Most importantly, it is not expensive. After parking the car, went into the restaurant and asked for the hotel. He said this is it. Then he took us to the room behind the counter. We checked in and received the room key. The restaurant was full of people. It seemed that every table was full. So I asked him what time the food service ended. It was still serving. So I asked if there were any seats. He said there were none. So I asked to order food to eat in the room. But I was the only one and I was a customer of the hotel. So he arranged a special table for me. The food service was almost over, so I ordered food to eat before going to the room. The food was really delicious. It was worth the restaurant being full. He included it in the accommodation fee. I didn't have to pay. Then I went to carry my bags to the room, which was not far from the parking lot. After resting and getting rid of fatigue, I drove to the city. Parking was not difficult. There were cars parked along the wall. This city has a very complete city wall. It still surrounds almost the entire old city. Some parts have collapsed, but they are trying to repair them to keep them in their original condition. I spent money to walk up the wall, then went down to walk around the old town inside the city, went into an old church that looked very sacred. Most of the tourists were self-guided, didn't see any tour groups. After walking around the city, it wasn't dark yet and I wasn't tired, but I had already run out of places, so I went back to my accommodation to eat delicious food and write stories to send to my friends. It's very close from my accommodation to the old town (2-3 km). Looking from my accommodation on another hill, I could see the old town wall. Outside the city walls is a new city that doesn't have any buildings that are an eyesore. The construction of old towns in Spain should be controlled so that tall buildings are not built, so it looks harmonious and not ugly. #avila #spain #europe
