Toledo Spain is a medieval city about 25 minutes by high speed train from of Madrid. It is a great day trip from Madrid for those who love wandering through small cobbled side streets and enjoying views of gilded churches, ancient walls that surround the city. Or, just sitting outside in a small cafe and soaking in the history. And who doesn’t? Here are a few pictures to give you a taste of what you can expect if you decide to visit charming Toledo, which was once the capital of Spain.

While in Toledo you can find an outdoor cafe on every corner offering Paella or Tapas and plenty of spots for a pastry and a cup of coffee. It’s a great place to relax for the day and escape the bustle of Madrid.
Happy Travels!

I love these little cobbled streets. Europe has so many beautiful little historic towns! It actually makes me look forward to coming back.
