October 16 (FR) - AVILA AND BURGOS
Begin your day with a locally guided tour of Ávila’s rich spiritual and historical heritage. You will visit the Monastery of the Incarnation, where St. Teresa lived and received many mystical experiences; the Cathedral of Ávila, integrated into the city’s ancient walls; and the Convent of St. Teresa, which was built on the site of her childhood home. Mass will be celebrated at a local church or chapel, to be confirmed. Continue to Burgos, where we will pass through the Arco de Santa Maria, an ornate gateway through the old city walls built to honor Charles V. Visit the Gothic Cathedral, which began in 1221. This is a pilgrimage church on the Camino de Santiago. Check into your hotel for dinner and overnight. (B, D)
