Like a Travel Trough History.
Close to Madrid, and one of the most important centers of European
medieval history, Toledo is an ideal place to visit. The Roman
author Titus Livius was the first to describe it as a "small fortified
town".
Fortification has always been an important parameter in its
history, and is still evident to today's tourist for the monumental
walls around the city. The "Swords of Toledo" gave world-wide fame
to its steel-production. It was capital of
Spain from the Gothic epoch until 1560, which explains
its really impressive medieval architecture. Walking through
its streets, one feels like having stepped back into the Middle-Ages,
but in the best sense of it, and perhaps you will search your
pockets for a few gold-ducats to buy some of Toledo's fine
artisany or just to enjoy its highly recommended cuisine.
