Journey to Ávila and Castilla
Follow in the Footsteps of Saint Teresa
Embark on a transformative pilgrimage to the Spanish city of Ávila, where the life and legacy of Saint Teresa of Ávila comes to life. Known for her mystical experiences, profound writings, and deep reform of the Carmelite Order, Saint Teresa’s spirituality continues to inspire millions around the world.
​
In Ávila, we will visit the Convent of Saint Teresa, where she was born and where her journey of faith began. We will explore the impressive walls of Ávila, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and reflect on how Saint Teresa’s reform efforts took root in this historic city.
The journey will take us to the Monastery of Saint Joseph, the first convent she founded, and to her tomb, where we can honour her memory and seek her intercession.​​

What does Jane say...
"There's a special place in my heart for this place and pilgrimage. Ávila draws you into the fiery faith of St. Teresa, where the walled city echoes her call to deep prayer, interior freedom, and intimate union with God. I strongly recommend this pilgrimage for those seeking spiritual renewal."
