Toledo

by leplaya - last update: Oct 13, 2007

A mixture of culture

View of front gate of the city
The history of Toledo goes back to the Roman times, continues through with Visigoths, Muslims, Jews, and Christians controling the city at vairous times. Because of this, there are a variety of cultures mixed together here. Where else can you see buildings named Mezquita de Cristo de la Luz and Sinogoga Santa Maria la Blanca?

Easy day trip

It is about 70 km from Madrid and makes for a great day trip. The only bad thing about it is that is a great amount of tourists and it can get pretty crowded at times. Make sure you get a street map from the tourist office, since with the small, winding alleys it's easy to get lost.
