Car rental in Avila

What to see with my rental car in Avila?

Pick up your hire car and start your route in Ávila. The city exudes history and culture, so first of all, after leaving your car in one of the car parks surrounding the old town, one of the best things to do in Ávila is to take a look at the spectacular wall built in medieval times, which is no less than 12 metres high and two and a half kilometres long.

In the centre of the town you can also visit monuments and historic buildings such as the Church of San Pedro Apóstol, the Puerta de Alcázar, the Royal Monastery of Santo Tomás, the Puerta del Carmen, the Cathedral and the Jewish Quarter of Ávila, among many other places. Visit churches and palaces and go back to medieval times. Avila is a historic, charming city with much to discover. And to make the experience unforgettable, don't miss a good T-bone steak with "patatas revolconas" and for dessert, some "yemas de Santa Teresa" (egg yolks of Santa Teresa).

Routes in your hire car from Avila.

Once you have discovered the wonderful Ávila, you have the chance to explore the Sierra de Gredos, just an hour from Ávila and the most visited place by those who practice active tourism, to go along one of the paths that lead to the Laguna Grande, in the heart of the glacier of the Circo de Gredos.

Another must-see, just 25 minutes from the centre of Ávila, is the Castro de Vetón de Ulaca, a Historic-Artistic Site located in the annexe of Villaviciosa. Here you will find one of the best-preserved forts and the best evidence of the way of life of the Vetons, a community that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula before Christ.

If you continue your route with your hire car in Ávila, don't miss the Cerro del Águila Caves, just over an hour away, which are a natural phenomenon located in a district of Arenas de San Pedro. The effect of the humidity and water passing through the limestone creates spectacular stalactites and stalagmites of different shapes and colours that are sure to surprise you.

The province of Ávila in general is full of charming villages and beautiful spots. The best way to visit them all is with a hire car. It's the only way to get from one place to another.

If you still have time and you have already explored Avila and its villages to the maximum, very close you have very important and beautiful cities such as Salamanca, only an hour away, Valladolid at an hour and a half, Segovia at less than an hour and a half and even Madrid, also at an hour and a half. You decide, you drive with Pepecar!
