Fairs & Traditions
Turned to the past. Recollection of the medieval city
Ronda de las Leyendas
On the first weekend of June, the city celebrates the Ronda de las Leyendas; the historic centre is transformed to host the representation of legends related to the history of Ávila, recreating other times and other people and allowing us to travel a world of illusion.
Evening visits to the wall
Evening visits to the wall are initiated at the beginning of the month of June, either through a visit to the bailey or by attending dramatisations, which through various characters tell us the history of the wall; these are performed on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Medieval Market
During the first days of September the city regains its medieval image with stalls, haimas (berebere hostels), the fragances of incense, rosemary and cheese; canned goods, slave auctions, puppeteeres, jugglers, knights, kings, monks and friars occupy the streets and squares of the historic centre.
