Toledo-Spain

Toledo &River Tagus

“El Greco”

Just an hour car-drive from Madrid, but so much to see and to Feel…walking in a most ancient town with so much Stone all around: buildings, streets´ pavement all of stone. A brief Historical Summary: A town where in the Past the 3 Main western world Religions ( Christians, Jewish and Muslim lived together, giving a  world tolerance example. At that time Toledo was as well the World´s Translation   Location of all Human Knowledge. Regarding building Architecture, there are still nowadays  some well preserved Presence of Master pieces of Jewish and Muslim Culture, apart from the local traditional conbination of stone and bricks construction style. Known as an Imperial Town, Toledo was the Capital of the Spanish Empire during the times of King Charles the I. Here is where Greco´s painter developed all his Master pieces. To get a good general view of Toledo I took my Clients for  a  Panoramic town Tour with a few stops. Then we visited the Jewish Quaters and entered one of the Sinagogues “Del Transito”,then the Greco´s Museum, followed by the Amazing Cathedral´s Chapters. At this point in time a break for a proper Lunch was required. Then we visited the Zocodover Sq., and the Alcazar from outside. Finally, on our way back we  made a short last stop at the local Train Station  building as it was indeed Worthwhile!!!
