| Page Views: 497 Last Visit to Toledo: April, 2008 | "The Glory of Spain" by Jefie - last update: Aug 1, 2008 |
The beautiful historic city of Toledo is often called "the city of three cultures", thanks to a period known as "La Convivencia" during which Moors, Jews and Catholics lived together harmoniously. The amazing architecture of the city still bears witness to their presence and diversity, which is one of the reasons why Toledo was named World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. |

For some strange reason, Toledo reminded me of my hometown of Quebec City - perhaps because it is a walled city, perched up on a hill surrounded by a river, where you immediately feel like losing yourself in the charming, winding streets. There is no arguing with the great Cervantes who described it as "The glory of Spain, and the light of its cities"! |

| Pros: | "It's close enough to Madrid to make it a great day-trip destination" | | Cons: | "It's not always easy to find a specific spot in the city - it's easier just to wander around!" | | In A Nutshell: | "A must for anyone interested in medieval architecture, history & literature" |

Bon anniversaire Isa. Très belle page sur Toledo. J'aime beaucoup le pont San Martin. Etes-vous monté sur la colline de l'autre côté du Tage pour voir le panorama de Toledo? |
