Toledo


Some how these photographs just don't capture the essence of Toledo. Just a little stop along the way to Seville we had the opportunity to explore the quaint, medieval town for a couple of hours. Toledo was incredibly beautiful, it was quiet, majestic and a little less travelled. It was one of those places I could have spent hours or a couple of days exploring, definitely somewhere to come back to.



Here are just a few facts:


Known as the 'Imperial City' Toledo is perched on a rocky ridge above the Rio Tajo. A labyrinth of narrow streets, plazas and hidden courtyards it has been refereed to as Iberia's Rome. Full of numerous mosques, synagogues, churches and museums Toledos provides an abundance of sites to explore within its ancient, medieval walls.
