In the tradition of fine architectural splendor, including form and function, the walled town of Toledo, Spain is rich in history. It reflects a different approach to constructing cities in Spanish history and has a rich history of various influences. Learn more about this fascinating and beautiful walled city in Central Spain. At one time many religions actively practiced in peaceful co-existence within the walls of Toledo. A predominant preference for religious tolerance made it possible for both Muslims and Jews to respect one another and live together harmoniously.
Todedo is one of my favorite places to visit in Spain. Plan on visiting Toledo for a full day the next time you visit Spain. Take time to explore this amazing walled city – best done by walking through the narrow streets and examining the architecture and discovering Toledo’s fantastic shops and delicatessans. Enjoy a bocadillo (freshly made sandwich with tasty Spanish salamis and cheeses on a great roll) and your favorite beverage at a deli overlooking the town and countryside. Drink in also the beauty of the art and architecture, the history, and the colors you will surely see. Make sure you have your digital camera ready because the photo opportunities are numerous and profound. I have fond memories of my day at Toledo and hope to return again.
