The Streets of Toledo




Toledo
Weather: Ice scraper needed in morning but sun cream at midday.

Hmmm bit "meh".  Lovely town to walk around but even in April it was heaving with tourists and full of shops selling tutt.  I guess it's because there is such a lot to see there.  Mix of Christian, Jewish and Muslim influences with Roman bits and bobs still around and El Greco lived there most of his life.  Seems to be a mecca for hen parties too.


So what did we come away with?  Some delicious marzipan treets - had to copy a picture because ours are well gone.  And we did wander round one of the museums passing the cat on guard at the gate.
