In the midst of Spain, an ancient city is found atop the hill. It gives you a throwback of the Christian, Muslim, and Jewish cultures. Never did I hear the name of this city before. But after I visited, city of Toledo will never be forgotten.
On February 26, my flying group (Joana and Angel with her fiance Octav) and I took a bus from Madrid to Toledo. Travel time is 50 minutes only. The weather was very nice.
The first tourist spot we stopped by was the Alcazar. It is a 4-squared building with 4 towers at the corner. Just a hundred steps away, we found a restaurant where we had burgers and drinks. Here we enjoyed the breathtaking view of the famous castle, bridge, and river.
We walked along the alley of San Gines. Synagogues, mosques and cathedrals here are built next to each other. This gave me chills. Wow! We failed to enter Cuevas de Hercules for it was closed at the time. So, we just bought some souvenirs nearby.
We explored Puente de Alcantara. This bridge was over the Tagus River where you could eye the magnificent Castillo de San Servando.
Just by walking along the wandering streets and seeing the buildings and medieval walls, we truly appreciated Toledo. People here preserved their artistic and cultural legacy. Having seen 3 different cultures here, I felt like this city is where everyone belongs.
