Weekend away in Toledo!‘You’ve not seen Spain until you’ve seen Toledo.’ – old
Spanish saying
The Gothic Cathedral
Crowned by a 100 metre tall spire!
The golden gates of its choir were blackened by iron to disguise their value from
Napoleonic troops during their occupation
The Alcázar of Toledo
Home of the Castilian kings until Philip II built the
Escorial in 1563

succession of horseshoe shaped arches.
