Spain
If you don't want to pay the 3.50 euros to walk along the city walls, then stand at the western end of Puente Romántico for a breathtaking view of the city walls and the cathedral.
West of Puerta del Puente - a good 30 min walk from the cathedral.
Along with the nearby cathedral, San Pedro church is the one must-see sight in the city as its pink sandstone walls (the colour associated with Ávila) glimmer in the evening sun. Best of all it's free to admire!
