It’s Tolaydo, Not Toleeedo, That’s In Ohio

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.

Good Morning From Toledo

Flew into Madrid from Lisbon and took a train to Toledo. I think the world’s longest escalator is here. Relaxing day then on to Seville.
