\nOnce home to Saint Teresa and Spain\u2019s first Gothic cathedral, Avila is surrounded by a formidable and admirably preserved 11th century Romanesque wall.<\/p>\n
Toledo, Spain\u2019s former capital city, deserves UNESCO\u2019s prestigious title, not merely for its boundless art heritage but, also, for its charming hilltop setting.<\/p>\n
