After Lisbon, we headed for Toledo. We flew Lisbon to Madrid, caught a cab at the airport to head to the train station and then a high-speed train to Toledo. A trains, planes and automobile kind of day.
The highlights, the longest (and easiest) walk up a mountain, the greatest Sangria ever and an introduction to Spanish cathedrals.
They do train stations right here.

It seems they know how to do hotels as well. Hostal Del Cardenal
We had lunch at a little place called La Boveda and experienced the best sangria ever. The recipe includes, Gin, Cognac, Martini & Rossi, sugar, red wine, lemon juice, portion to taste, wow. Lunch was good to, but it tasted better after each pull on the sangria.

To reach the town from the hotel, we had to scale a mighty mountain. It was tough as we had to walk from the top of one escalator to the bottom of the next one. Exhausting.
And of course, the cathedral.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
I’ve never seen anything like that escalator rig.
Beautiful pictures! I love me a nice train station.
It was crazy, but I see why. It would be quite the hike from the bottom of the hill to the main attraction, the old city. Ingenious solution, and it keeps cars away from the top of the hill.
Gorgeous pictures. Missed Spain on my last (oh wait only) trip to Europe.
HAD to read this post based on the headline alone.
It’s NeVada not Nehvahda.

Haha. we got educated on the pronunciation at the hotel. Made me laugh out loud.
I was a little confused at first thinking “He was in Ohio and they didn’t come to see me?”.

It was. Discovered paella on this trip as well.
