Medieval Market of Ávila

The Mercado Medieval de Ávila is one of the largest and most spectacular medieval markets in Europe. Every September, the stunning UNESCO World Heritage walled city of Ávila transforms into a living medieval town with over 200 stalls, jousting tournaments, troubadours, falconry displays and theatrical performances. Set against the backdrop of Ávila's perfectly preserved 11th-century walls — the finest in Spain — it's a magical step back in time.
