If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like inside a
living, medieval fort, go to Ávila. If you want to run rampant in it basically
all by yourself, go in November. And if you think it’d be awesome if it were
lit up like a fairy tale at night, well, you’re in luck.
We are so lucky to have stumbled upon “The Town of Stones
and Saints”. More than anyplace else we’ve ever visited before, it truly made us feel as if we'd been transported back in time. Walking along the top of the fortress walls shooting
pretend arrows at unsuspecting enemies. Brandishing non-existent swords as we
lurked the eerily quiet streets. Storming its gates in suits of invisible
armour. We ran around like little kids playing make-believe all day and night. Well,
little kids who drink a lot of wine.
While Ávila is technically part of the Castilla-León
region of Spain, it was so amazing that I felt it deserved it’s own set of
photos. And it might be my favorite little album. To see our fun times in what
has been described as “the most 16th-century town in Spain”, click
