Toledo is beautiful!
mesmerized me ... a whole bunch of narrow and winding streets, the historic center of partially closed to traffic (but not completely), beautiful buildings, great weather for this time of year, about 80 km from Madrid and how different - quieter, calmer and much nicer ... City classically built on a hill, was the capital of the country, and is currently a central province of Castilla la Mancha. Toledo has repeatedly passed from hand to hand, a settlement founded by the Iberian, conquered by the Romans, the Visigoths ruled it, 711-1085 - under the rule of the Moors, conquered by Alfonso VI in 1085 and so on. in other words, a city with a rich history ( http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo_ 28Hiszpania% 29% ) :-)... This co-existed here for great world religions - Catholics, and Jews Muzułumanie were living together peacefully in the area, of course, until ...
long time since I saw the butt of churches per square meter in one city :-)... towering over the city cathedral was erected on the ruins of the mosque, the influence of Arab culture, however, are vivid and noticeable in this city. Also worth a visit of Toledo from the river, walk along paths and obejżec city from a different perspective.
