Toledo is a city that will surely charm you, for its history and legends, as we stroll through narrow streets and admire the original architecture of the main highlights of this city. The co-existence of three cultures made this city in the Middle Ages an important cultural centre for Muslims, Jews, and Christians.
The tour will start with a Panoramic visit of Toledo and stop at a viewpoint with breathtaking views of the city for taking the best pictures of Toledo.
Next, we will go down to the old town of Toledo, where we will do a walking tour through the most important areas of the city, such as the Cathedral. This monument built on top of a Muslim mosque is a great example of Spanish Gothic art! The inside of the building contains a large number of artworks (stained glasses, choir, main chapel, altarpieces, El Greco paintings, etc.).
Also, we will pass by Plaza de Zocodover and Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, one of the most enchanting monuments in Toledo, located in the Jewish quarter of Toledo. It is considered a symbol of the cooperation of the three cultures who populated the Iberian Peninsula in the Middle Ages.
Were you aware that Toledo has held the title of a World Heritage site since 1986? Undoubtedly, this fact signifies that the city will surprise you.
Following the guided city tour, there will be a period of free time for relaxation and lunch (not included in the price).
After this, it's time to go toward the region's most ancient winery of Castilla la Mancha. There we will have the opportunity to enjoy a complete wine tourism experience, as well as delve into the art of winemaking in a unique setting, a bicentennial winery that is surrounded by a carefully tended vineyard, where the most prestigious grape varieties in the country are found. Of course, we can't leave without tasting some of its best wines, complemented by a delightful appetizer.
Since our visit is coming to the end, it's time to return comfortably to Madrid!
