Toledo was much more beautiful than I had expected. Immediately after walking up the (very) steep hill, we saw old architecture everywhere, from old walls, to an entranceway into the city.
We took a little train around the city so that we could get a more distant view from the other side of the river. It was unreal. Somehow it reminded me of Harry Potter with the bridges, the river, and the castles.
Toledo is up on a hill and all the buildings (in true Spanish style) are very close together, leading to awesome views if you can get up high enough.
Not a terrible amount of things to do in Toledo, but it was worth it just to see the buildings. They have such a well preserved city that was taken over by so many different groups and you can see the Jewish synagoges, Catholic cathedral and Roman architecture. Worth a stop.
This is one of the many Spanish babies I've added to my collection since September. Possibly the most adorable as well. And the easiest to snag seeing as how his parents are nowhere to be found.
Cervantes! The oh so famous writer. This is one of our only pictures together from the whole trip, and Cervantes is hogging all the attention. What can you do.
A cool little park on the way out of the city. There was a house made of sticks in the middle of the park and it almost looked fake. But I would so live there with my cat, Simba, and speak Spanglish for the rest of my life. Luckily "Simba" is still the same in Spanish so my lovely cat wouldn't get too confused.
