Toledo


The ancient city of Toledo is the heart and soul of Spain. You will not stop taking pictures.

Sure there are sights to see in Toledo like the Cathedral and the El Greco museum but the most memorable part of Toledo are the winding narrow cobblestone streets. We loved being there in February because the streets were free of tourists making them even more photogenic.

The views from above are just as good. We climbed the bell tower at the church of Iglesia San Idelfonso and snapped some arial shots of Toledo (and, of course, a selfie of an arial shot of Toledo).

Parador de Toledo

Here is some advice given to me by my sister in law and now I’m passing it along to you: GO TO THE PARADOR DE TOLEDO. She went there for lunch, we went for sunset. The Parador is a luxurious state run hotel, just a quick cab ride up in the hills overlooking Toledo. Have a drink on the patio and let the view sink in. Its breath taking. You will not want to leave.

We did leave. Once it got dark we took a cab back to the train station, then back to Madrid for dinner.
