A view of Toledo, finally

Shalom. I feel like it’s been weeks since I was in Toledo, but it was only Wednesday. It was a long week for me. But I’ve finally worked the images from my day trip to the former capital of Spain. I hope to return later this week or next to hit a few museums I missed.

I took a train to Toledo. It’s a speedy train run by Renfe. Less than 20 euro round trip, which is why I hope to make the effort to return. The trip takes 30 minutes. The trains are very new and clean. A very pleasant experience.

The train station is beautiful. I don’t have a good shot of the stained glass, but the building is attractive. It is a 20th century structure designed to look like the moorish style of the middle ages.

It is late, and I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. Perhaps I’ll fill this post out later. Until then, I’ll cheat and put a slideshow.

    I would love to go there some day! Many Danes visit Spain on vacations because the weather in the Winter is so nice and warm.

    I took the Renfe from Granada to Sevilla, and I loved it! And I wish I could have travelled to Toledo. Sigh. I miss Spain like crazy.
