TOLEDO

Thur 14th Dec

Today we visited the World Heritage City of Toledo with
Rafael and Jill, the first wonder was the Alcazar which is a
four sided building guarding the city entrance presiding over
the Rio Tajo, we then went to the Cathedral Primada which is
mind blowing and includes many works of art from artists such
as El Greco, Van Dyke,Trisan and Goya.There are over 25
historical buildings in Toledo. We then saw the Synagogues
and Mudejar Towers and had lunch in the Jewish part of town,
and then walked through the narrow cobbled streets which were
full of exquisite shops displaying the various Toledo work.
In the evening we had dinner in a restaurant in Las Rosas.
