After a wonderful one day, two nights stop in Zaragoza Spain, we hopped in the trusty Peugeot and headed for Madrid Spain. Cindy, our tour guide says, no road tolls on this trip so we stuck to the main highway A2. Four hours later we are in our Airbnb in Madrid. Lovely place, one bedroom apartment in the outskirts of Madrid. Easy metro access so we spent 6/6/19 touring Madrid. We have two more days here so I’ll recap Madrid when we leave, Sunday.
Today we hopped in the trusty Peugeot and headed to Toledo Spain, about a one hour drive. Quick easy trip with GPS and we parked at the base of the city wall. Safe, easy unground parking.
Toledo is a UNESCO sight and has a long and storied hosts, with Christians, Jews and Muslims. Of course, the Romans founded the city as it lies on a hill above the river Tagos. It’s a lovely historic filled city, but can get a little crowded as it’s on the tour bus route. We avoided the tours with our early morning arrival and use of off the beaten path advice from TripAdvisor and the local tourist office.
We saw numerous sights including the Cathedral Primada, Puerto de Bisage and drove the famous Mirador del Valle, lovely.
Toledo is famous for its cutting steel, and knife/sword shops are everywhere.
Tomorrow and Sunday back to Madrid which is a wonderful city.
Until Sunday, Adios Amigos😎
