Toledo, Spain: Part Two - The City

So for the second post, the pictures of the city. Felipe and I took the high speed train from the Madrid Atocha train station and it took only about 25 minutes to get to the train station in Toledo. From there we got a bus to take us up into the walled part of the city (although this is walkable - it's at a bit of an incline). There is a lot to do and see in the city and we highly recommend having some sort of city guide, and most certainly a map...we did not (as this trip was planned very shortly before we left for Europe). We stopped in the city tourism office to get a map and then spent the majority of the day wandering the medieval streets...which worked well for us.

Below are a few of the photos that I took around the city (the first photo was taken by Felipe):

Toledo - The Alcázar
The Alcázar, a stone fortification and Roman palace in the 3rd century. It was closed, so we were not able to go in and see the museum they keep there.
