Looking from an archer's position in a castle tower across at a larger tower, this image captures the grand feeling of Ávila. It is inspiring to imagine medieval guards standing where I stood to sketch this scene, watching out over the plains to the west, hearing hooves and carts on the cobbles around the entry gate below.
Ávila is sometimes called the "City of Stones and Saints" due to its connection to prominent Spanish mystics and its well-preserved architecture dating back to the 5th century. The Old Town of Ávila has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
