Subjects : A small town south of Madrid that is easily accessible by train from Atocha station or with countless bus rides from the centre of Madrid. Personally I preferred the train because it allows you not to be constrained to others and allows you to see the landscapes of the Spanish Meseta. Important warning, the seats on the trains are numbered and assigned style "Red Arrow" or "Italo" and in certain periods they run out quickly it is therefore recommended to buy them in advance avoiding to decide the trip at the moment because you risk, as happened, having to give up. The town is situated on the hill overlooking the Rio Tago, it is surrounded by walls, inside which is enclosed a delightful ancient village. The origin of the town dates back to Roman times when a fortress was built that allowed the control of the communication routes. Later it was capital for the Visigoths who enriched it with many churches. The construction of the cathedral dates back to the Middle Ages, which is certainly the most interesting monument. In the Middle Ages Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures lived in the city, and each remains a trace. Still famous today for the production of blades, it is worth to dedicate a day, offers typical views of medieval cities with articulated and intricate streets and alleys as well as interesting views of the Tagus valley. For fans, entering the city is located a monument to the "Eagle of Toledo" or Federico Bahamontes, phenomenal Iberian climber author of great uphill feats and winner of the "Tour" of 1959.

Recommended equipment : Wide-angle pushed and zoom all-rounder. Trestle for those who love nightlife.

Best months : Spring and autumn, the climate is continental with cold winters and hot summers.

How to get there : From Madrid by train from Atocha station. With coach from the city center on day trips.

Visits : Cathedral and other places generally for a fee.
