Toledo

We walked to the Madrid train station (see the lovely boulevard in Madrid) this morning and traveled to Toledo - a 35 minute trip. Toledo has a cool train station albeit small.

Toledo is a medieval walled city and originally the capital of Spain - named a unesco world heritage site in the 80s - with Arab, Jewish and Christian monuments. It also has a massive military history museum.

Home to manchego cheese production there's even a tiny museum sharing it's history and production process.

For lunch we had what is called a manchego sheet (with a sheet of manchego melted and hardened hung on clothes pins and served with guacamole) and pork cheeka with a manchego sauce.

We visited the cathedral and the ancient synagogue as well.

On the way out of town we spotted a cool monument to the people who worked to keep citizens safe during covid.

Oh and Mom, they have an entire store devoted to Lladros.Okumaya devam et
