[QUOTE="alansykes, post: 253907, member: 9811"] Great excitement in the Diario de Ávila that the mayor has met the pope and given him some stuff relating to St Theresa's quincentenary next year. He hasn't committed to visiting Ávila on his Spanish tour next year, but it sounds as if he probably will, and that could have a fairly significant effect on tourism in the area, with pictures of the walls and the cathedral being beamed around the world. Laurie and others have written about the horrific exit from Ávila, along a busy and quite narrow national road, with sliproads to 2 motorways not helping. If I come this way again I think I'll take a taxi or bus for the first 3km. Great views back over the walls. After a last view backwards, soon you are back to contemplating the boundless plain again. Gotarrendura is a pleasant little village with a very fine albergue (4 beds, washing machine etc, donativo). A notice on the bar door says they'll open specially for pilgrims for supper if you ring, a relief as there's no shop to buy stuff to use in the well equipped kitchen. St Theresa was almost certainly born here, and you can see her family dovecot. There's a statue of her from 1982, commemorating the 400th anniversary of her death, so perhaps they'll put up another for the quincentenary of her birth next. [/QUOTE]
