Impressive gold religious icon used once a year in a parade. It is ornate to the extreme and a wonderful example of the craftsmen of the period.

One of the most imposing cathedrals in Spain, and a superb example of Gothic architecture.

This may have been the most mind-blowing edifice I have ever been in. We stepped through the front entrance and were immediately overwhelmed with awe (even though this was the list day of several days of awe inspiring sites), and then we realized that all we were seeing was still only seeing one portion of all it entailed. The audio tour was very interesting, just the right amount of detail.

The gate is the entryway to the old town of Toledo. On a regular day, it would a regular entrance archway, no doubt historically significant. We visited closer to christmas and hence the decor around the gate, made it beautiful. Was worth the visit. Also very close to the tourist centre and a good spot to catch the bus to Mirador del valle viewpoint.

Awesome place to visit! But I realised there was hardly any information on how to travel there without a car and without having to book an expensive day tour. Here’s my experience: 1) From Madrid, go to Estación Sur bus terminal. Metro station Mendez Alvaro is directly at the bus terminal. 2) Go to Samar ticket counter to buy the bus ticket to Consuegra. The people at the ticket counter hardly understands English, so you might have to show them the word Consuegra from your phone. Ticket cost about 11 Euros 1 way. I took the 11am bus on a Monday. Return ticket does not have to be bought here, can be bought directly on the return bus from Consuegra itself. 3) The bus is a direct bus to Consuegra. There is NO transfer needed. They will issue you 2 tickets, which is confusing but that’s how their ticket system work. 4) The ticket does not show the Bay number to wait for the bus. You have to check the Bay number on the tv screen. Note that Consuegra is not the final destination. Check on the screen using your bus timing and final destination information. These are written on your ticket. 5) Go to the allocated bus bay and you are on board the bus! As there are stops in between, the total journey can take up to 3hours. 6) Once you arrive in Consuegra, there is a tourist office directly next to the bus stop. Go in and get a map. The personnel there will explain exactly how to walk up to the windmills. Direction is really easy to follow. Remember to ask for the timing of the bus back to Madrid. PS: There is a washroom inside the tourist office. 7) Note that there is a very long flight of stairs to go up the windmills. Slope is gradual so it’s quite manageable. You can go slow. 8) I took the 1810 bus back to Madrid. Return trip was much faster. Hope this helps!

The City Walls of Toledo may not be as grand as those of Avila but, I guess, that is a subjective notion. The first walls were constructed by the Romans, some remnants still exist. The Visigoths rebuilt the walls from the ruins of the old Roman and also tripled the size. The Arabs further enlarged the walls when in power and after the Christian reconquest, they were further enlarged and new gates added. See the Puerta de Bisagra Nueva dating to 1559, Puerta del Cambrón dating to 1576 and Puerta del Sol. Fascinating.

I absolutely loved Toledo and the view of it from across the river. Take the time to cross the river, climb up a ways and look at the panoramic view of the city. It is gorgeous.
