Visiting the walls of Ávila with a car and driver from Ávila
Looking for a taxi to Walls of Ávila, or a car like Uber, Cabify or Bolt: here you book Spanish private hire (VTC) with advance booking and a fixed price from your town.
You walk the walls along the top and come out somewhere other than where you went in, so your own car always ends up in the wrong place. With a driver you are dropped at one gate and picked up at another.

Walls of Ávila from Ávila
The medieval wall encircles the whole of Ávila's old town and can partly be walked along the top. Traffic inside is restricted, so visits usually start at one of the gates, and the best overall view is from the Cuatro Postes viewpoint across the Adaja river.
How to get there
- Ávila
- Gredos makes Ávila province work almost as two: getting from the Tiétar valley to the capital means crossing the mountains over the Pico pass or another Gredos crossing, on mountain roads. The most common internal trips are from the villages to the hospital and station in Ávila, and in the south, between valley villages where buses run only a few times a day.
When demand peaks
- Santa Teresa fiestas (mid-October): Ávila celebrates its patron Saint Teresa around 15 October, with processions, events in the old town and many visitors from outside. There are traffic closures by the walls and it is best to set the pickup outside the walled area.
- Holy Week in Ávila (March or April): Holy Week processions fill the old town and the area around the walls, and coincide with holiday departures to the Tiétar valley. These are days of many transfers in both directions.
- Medieval Festival (early September): During the Medieval Festival the area inside the walls becomes a crowded market with closed streets. Driving into the old town on those days is difficult.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to come by train and take a car here?
From Madrid it usually pays off: the train arrives downtown and the car handles the walls, Los Cuatro Postes and the trip back to the station without extra walking.
