Culture
Avila, with its wealth of monuments and rich history, has a large variety of fiestas and cultural activities throughout the year which include festivals, cinema and theatre. Just a few examples include the huge medieval market in September which transforms the city into an enormous theatrical scene where all the citizens participate, numerous concerts of classical and modern music and the traditional fiestas or festivals with events such as the running of the bulls and other such timeless traditions that have been maintained for centuries.
Here
is just a selection of some of the festivals and events, not including the
