Llevad calzado cómodo, todo son cuestas jaja
Toledo se ve en un día pero merece dormir allí para verlo de noche.
El Cristo de la Luz es pequeñito pero precioso, una mezquita del año 999.
Qué pena que siempre esté tan lleno de turistas
Entre semana y a primera hora está muy tranquilo.
La Puerta de Bisagra, la entrada a Toledo por excelencia.
El Mirador del Valle al atardecer, la mejor vista de Toledo.
Las carcamusas en el centro, la tapa típica.
El Entierro del Conde de Orgaz en Santo Tomé, impresionante en persona.
Hay que cruzar por el Puente de San Martín, qué bonito.
Las sinagogas del Tránsito y Santa María la Blanca, Toledo de las tres culturas.
La Catedral es inmensa, el Transparente te deja sin palabras.
Comprad mazapán de Santo Tomé, imprescindible 😋
