Today we rode the Renfe train to the town of Toledo. The journey takes exactly 33 minutes from Madrid. The beautiful Toledo railroad station:
Toledo is a medieval walled city on top of a high hill immortalized in El Greco’s painting which can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. The entire city is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We took a taxi up to the center of the city and aimlessly walked through the labyrinth of narrow alleyways. The sun came out for a short time. It was nice to wander with just a few off-season tourists.
The 13th century Catedral Primada Santa Maria de Toledo:
The main tourist destination is Zocodover Square:
Then we started our descent down the road to the railroad station. Below is my version of a view of Toledo. :-)
