A Day in Segovia and Ávila (Mastercard)

Some cities feel like stories you’ve stepped into. This full-day guided tour from Madrid brings you face to face with two of Spain’s most remarkable: Segovia and Ávila. Both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Both unforgettable.

Your journey begins in Segovia, where time seems to have stopped under the shadow of a Roman aqueduct built during the reign of Emperor Augustus. Follow your expert guide through winding streets to the Gothic Cathedral, and gaze upon the fairy-tale silhouette of the Alcázar of Segovia, whose towers once inspired Walt Disney.

From there, the adventure continues to Ávila, a city encased in 11th-century stone walls that feel as if they’re guarding a thousand secrets. Walk along ancient paths, past Romanesque basilicas, palaces, and the birthplace of Saint Teresa.

And if you’ve chosen the gourmet lunch upgrade, prepare for a true Castilian feast: traditional white bean soup, roasted suckling pig, and Segovian cake with ice cream.

Best of all? Mastercard cardholders receive a special gift: a FREE guided day trip to Toledo, complete with transport, expert commentary, and your choice of morning departure.
