Un viaje a Toledo

Well I took my first venture outside the city limits of Madrid to the historical city of Toledo. It’s a very beautiful city especially when you approach it and once you get there, well, it’s also very beautiful.


The city itself is a shell of what it once was: the epicenter of Spain’s Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths, however many of the original buildings still stand (and then again, many do not).

Our trip consisted of visits to various churches-cum-museums and a generous amount of free time to explore this city in which there is really nothing much to explore.



Aside from the religious aspects, Toledo is known for its steel as well as its gold work. And besides churches, you pretty much only find souvenir shops selling swords and, you guessed it, things made of gold with lots of intricate patterns.

I know this post is kinda short, but there really isn’t much to say that you can’t see for yourself in the pictures. I mean, sure I could talk about El Greco and the church/museum that had a wall dedicated to the anti-abortion, pro life sentiment, but I’m really not in the mood… So please to be exploring the pictures on your own time... :)

Later…
