Interesting page and some great photos.

The panorama view over Toledo is lovely! I will visit Spain for the first time next year but unfortunatly there will be no time for Toledo, but hopefully another time.
Would love to wander the old streets = Nice history lesson for me here too
Another wonderful Spanish city. Toledo is also blessed with a fabulous Plaza and beautiful churches.
Those old cities with their narrow streets are fascinating! Maybe one day I'll get to Spain and be able to see for myself - for now, thanks for stirring my interest.
I really should travel to Spain one day :)) Thanks for showing me this wonderful city!
Interesting tip on inquisitiom. Historicians say that very low number of executed witches in Poland reflects low law enforcement and laziness of investigators. Witches had to be incestigated, arrested and sentenced before execution-> that's a lot of wo
Unfortunately I didn't get to visit Toledo when I was in Spain. Too bad, looks like a great city.
Toledo was a favorite Spanish city for me. You've done a wonderful job with the history, architecture, and ambience of this beautiful place.
