Province of Ávila, Administrative province in Castile and León, Spain

The Province of Ávila extends from northern flatlands to southern granitic sierras, with the Guadarrama, Paramera, and Sierra de Gredos mountain ranges defining its landscape.

The Celtic inhabitants of Ávila Province left behind large stone statues called Verracos before Romans conquered the territory around 192 BCE.

The Province of Ávila maintains strong agricultural traditions in its northern plains while preserving natural reserves in its mountainous southern regions.

The province connects to neighboring regions through the rivers Alberche, Tiétar, and Tormes, which flow from the Sierra de Gredos mountain range.

The population of Ávila Province experienced a significant decline from 143,165 in 1591 to 102,707 in 1752, taking two centuries to recover.
