Once the capital of Spain, Toledo has played a central role in the country’s political and religious history since Roman times. It has been a major European centre for learning and the arts for generations of Jews, Muslims and Christians alike. All of which makes wandering its narrow streets with a head full of summarised history a slightly overwhelming experience. A labyrinth of cobbled lanes – often no more than an arms width apart - twist and dip all over the old city, suddenly opening up to medieval cathedrals, synagogues, fortifications, art museums, or the stunning Alcazar. Like a lot of places in Spain, it is a town hard to appreciate in a single day.     IMPORTANT...CATHEDRAL OPEN FOR LIMITED HOURS ...A MUST SEE WITH EL GRECO ART AND UNUSUAL DESIGN..DO NOT MISS.
