Euro Trip – Day Thirteen: Vamos a Toledo!!

Today was our first full day in España. We started off the day going to the train station to catch the train to Madrid and make the connection for Toledo. For those of you who don’t know, there is a Toledo, Ohio, USA as well. No Moorish architecture though, just a baseball stadium (as far as PeaceKeeper knows).  

Our train ride was smooth and we arrived in Madrid in about a half hour. After finding out the schedule we got our tickets and waited for the train. Once we arrived in Toledo we noticed the temperature was really getting up there. According to a sign in the rail station the temperature was 34 degrees Celsius, that’s like….hmmmm …really hot.

We caught the bus into the town center. The approach in to the town was amazing. Our first look at the buildings took our collective breath away. There was a castle on the hill and several ancient structures filling the city. There was even the remnants of a wall that encircled the hillside city.

We walked, and walked up and down the cobble stone streets. Each hillcrest brought with it something new to see; whether it was another building or a sword shop with massive displays.
