Step by Step

The tour to Toledo departs from a central area of Madrid and arrives in the "City of the Three Cultures". The trip takes place in an air-conditioned bus and includes an expert guide who will explain the history of the main monuments.

Toledo is about an hour's drive from the capital and stands on top of a hill. The surrounding medieval walls enclose an old town of buildings linked to the Moorish past, but also to the traces left by Jews and Christians. The beating heart is the Plaza de Zocodover, a short distance from the Cathedral, which blends Gothic and Mudejar styles.

The tour also passes through the old Jewish quarter, which was home to a large Jewish community. Here you will find two fascinating places of worship: the Church of Santo Tomé - famous for El Greco's "The Burial of Count Orgaz" - and the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca.

The Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes, one of the finest examples of Elizabethan Gothic, also deserves special mention. Inside it houses a lush garden with roses and orange trees.

    The excursion was not what I expected, I imagined something different. In spite of this I enjoyed it very much, the tour was quite interesting and I took away a lot of new knowledge and learning. Highly recommended.
