San Pedro Church.

Construction of the church of San Pedro began in 1100, at around the same time as the basilica of San Vicente. It was built in the Romanesque style. The most striking feature of the façade is its Cistercian rose window. The church has three naves and a triple apse. The exterior is also marked by a great square tower, from the same period.

Convento de Santa Teresa.

The Convento de Santa Teresa (Convent of St. Teresa) is the primary shrine of St. Teresa in Ávila. Located on the Plaza de la Santa, it stands over the site of Teresa's birth.

It is an active convent and much of it remains closed to visitors, but pilgrims can visit the site of Teresa's birthplace, now an elaborate chapel within the Baroque church. The chapel is decorated with scenes of the saint demonstrating her powers of levitation. – sacred-destinations.com

Avila

The walled city of Avila.

Ávila de los Caballeros is the capital of the province of the same name, now part of the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. The city is 1117 meters (3665 feet) above sea level, the highest provincial capital in Spain. It is built on the flat summit of a rocky hill, which rises abruptly in the midst of a veritable wilderness: a brown, arid, treeless table-land, strewn with immense grey boulders, and shut in by lofty mountains. This results in an extreme climate, with very hard and long winters, and short summers. Typical food in Ávila includes roast lamb, suckling pig, and veal steak. Ávila is also famous for its yemas de Santa Teresa - egg yolk candies named after the patron saint. – Wikipedia
