Temple of the black Iberian veal from Avila
The cuisine at the Parador de Ávila is a true reflection of the gastronomy of Avila, marked by hearty dishes full of flavour. A menu which highlights the cuts of the Avileña Negra Ibérica 100% native breed veal, pork products, pulses from Barco de Ávila, the humble but unbeatable 'patatas revolconas con torreznos’ (potato and paprika purée with fried pork belly) and the sweets, represented by the 'Yemas de Santa Teresa’ (egg yolk sweets).

Opening Hours
A Renaissance palace within the city walls
The Palace of Piedras Albas, now the Parador de Ávila, was built into the second line of the city’s defensive walls. Built in the 16th century, its architectural style is typical of the stately houses built in the Renaissance period.
The palace has undergone several changes over the centuries. The most notable one is the historicist reformations carried out in the 19th c., in which the tower was added. This part of the palace was home to a library with an extensive collection that which formed part of a small ethnographic museum in the city.
