Day 5 - Madrid
Picturesquely set on a hill overlooking the Tagus River, Toledo proudly preserves its 2,000-year history in more than 100 buildings and monuments. At its peak, between the eleventh and 13th centuries, it was known as the "City of Three Cultures" for the harmonious co-existence of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish communities. Breathe in this remarkable history as you embark on a walking tour along the narrow, cobbled streets of Toledo's center, enjoying the striking blend of Moorish-Mudejar-Jewish, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture. You'll view El Alcazar, the 16th-century Moorish citadel that stands at a point originally fortified by the ancient Romans and which dominates the city skyline. You'll also discover Toledo Cathedral, which you'll have the opportunity to enter so as to view the stunning artistry contained within. After your Toledo tour, you'll continue on your way to Granada, arriving at your hotel this evening, where dinner is included. Please note: On select departures the cathedral may be closed, and only the exterior will be available for viewing. Breakfast, Dinner Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner |
