The capital of Spain unsurprisingly remains one of the most
popular tourist destinations in the world, offering a plethora of
pulsating attractions to take part in, marvellous sights
to see, and incredible areas to stay.
Aside from its obvious appeal in terms of tourist activities on offer, another attractive facet of Madrid is its location in the middle of the country. This offers visitors the opportunity to temporarily go on day trips outside of the urban metropolis that is Madrid, and take excursions and tours to locations that provide more of an exclusive, Spanish flavour.

Other parts of Spain worthy of visiting on a day trips and excursions from Madrid include the areas of Avila and Segovia, which can both be conquered in one day as part of a single tour.
Avila is a town that’s often referred to as the “town of stones and saints”, due in part to how it remains home to a wide variety of Gothic architecture and Romanesque stonework. Walls built as far back as the 11th century circle the town, with access also available to the St. Theresa of Avila Convent and Monastery, as well as the jaw-dropping Cathedral of Avila.
Segovia is a city that’s positioned a little further afield, and like Avila offers a rich source of historic architecture to marvel at. The Segovia Roman Acqueduct is a sight worth seeing, having stood tall since the 1st century.
Another Segovia landmark that demands attention is the medieval fort of Alcazar, which stands proudly after hundreds of years, having also acted as inspiration for castles illustrated in Disney films.
