Featuring the Medieval Festival Jornadas Medievales 🚌 After a long break from exploring the outskirts, I took advantage of the summer youth transport discount to unlock different towns. Upon arriving in Ávila, I found out that it was hosting the Medieval Festival (quite lucky, I'd say). The entire town was like a carnival, with numerous stalls and people of all ages dressed in medieval attire, joining in the grand festivities, which was incredibly lively 😍 Regarding local cuisine: Apart from steak, the yema custard dessert is also quite famous. (In a whisper, I personally think it's incredibly sweet; those with a sweet tooth 🐜 might want to give it a try. As for the steak - due to the many stalls at the medieval festival, I didn't get a chance to try it this time.) 🎫 Ávila City Walls (Muralla de Ávila) Full ticket: €8 Student/Youth Card: €5 Ávila Cathedral (Catedral de Ávila) Full ticket: €8 Student/Youth Card: €6.5 Basilica of the Holy Martyrs Vicente, Sabina, and Cristeta (Basílica de los santos Vicente, Sabina y Cristeta) Full ticket: €3 Student/Youth Card: €2.2 Ávila Card includes many attractions (See image 12) Full ticket: €15 Children under 12 are free The card is valid for 48 hours No ticket required - The Four Posts (Los cuatro postes) ——————————————— ➿ Ávila ➿ 📅 Medieval Festival Jornadas Medievales Dates: September 6, 2024 - September 8, 2024 (Procrastination had me posting this only after the event ended 🫠) 🚌 Bus Company Name - Jiménez Dorado Starting point - Madrid Destination - Ávila (about a 20-minute walk to the city center) Duration - Approximately 95 minutes 💰 Youth Summer Transport Discount: €2 Can't praise the youth summer transport discount enough 😍 (valid until the end of September) The discount is incredibly generous, ranging from 50% to 100% off.
