The Sierra de Gredos, which forms part of Spain's Sistema Central, is approximately 140 kms in length running from Cerro de Guisando in the east to the Sierra de Bejar in the west, and boasts glacial cirques, mountain rivers and falls, and peaks reaching nearly 2600m.

Every season has something to offer in Gredos – from winter snow and ice, through the verdant and flower-rich spring to the pleasant temperatures of summer and the beautiful colours of autumn.

For those who like to be active, the Sierra offers walking for all abilities, climbing and scrambling on both rock and ice, cycling, mountain biking, paragliding, horse riding and both cross country and extreme skiing.

For others, there are rivers to swim in, historical sites and cities to visit and many beautiful natural spaces rich with an abundance of wildlife and nature to discover and explore.

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.

The best way to truly appreciate the drama of Ávila and the enthralling views of the province itself is to walk along the city walls. Start at Puerta de Alcázar near the cathedral and finish at Puerta de Rastro. It costs 3.50 euros to do the walk.
