This location is a simple and austere Carmelite convent that is known to be the first Santa Teresa founded in 1562. It has a rich history and is a popular tourist attraction. The convent is located in Building 2, C. las Madres Street, Ávila City, and can be visited during the afternoon from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Visitors can see the original chapel where Teresa de Jesús first established the convent, as well as the museum with relics of the founder.However, some visitors have reported issues with the staff being unfriendly and unhelpful. One visitor was told that they had to pay to see the relics, but when they asked if they could pay with card, they were told that cash only was accepted. Another visitor was met with a rude and uncooperative staff member when they tried to visit the convent.Despite these issues, the convent is a beautiful and historic location that is definitely worth visiting. The architecture is impressive, and the history of the place is fascinating. Visitors can see the original chapel, the museum with relics, and the beautiful gardens surrounding the convent.Overall, this location is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, and culture. However, visitors should be aware of the potential issues with the staff and plan accordingly.
