 oledo is both capital of the province with the

T same name, as well as capital of the

Autonomous Community called Castilla-La
Mancha. It is located 70 kilometers (43 miles) south
of Madrid on the Autovía N-401. Although the
city is small in size, it is a leading political, economic and social center,
oriented primarily towards the production of its characteristic crafts and
the promotion and care of its great historical, artistic, and cultural
heritage.
With the exception of the mountains along the southern fringe, the
province, one of the largest in Spain, is a land of flat terrain devoted
primarily to agriculture, livestock and light industry. It is traversed by the
Tajo (Tagus) river, on the banks of which the two most important cities
can be found, Talavera de la Reina and the capital itself.

View of Toledo

Erected on a small hill, Toledo has a typical continental climate, cold in

winter and hot in summer, although slightly tempered by the presence of
the Tajo river flowing around its historic center. The months of November
and February generally bring the most rainfall, though not particularly
heavy, and snow is unusual.
In December 1987, the UNESCO declared Toledo a World Heritage City
in recognition of its uniqueness, as it is almost impossible to walk its streets
without coming across an ancient mosque, a Gothic or Mudéjar church, a
Romanesque or Visigothic structure, a synagogue, or a Renaissance
palace. Several days are needed to visit and enjoy all of the sights of Toledo,
as well as a dash of adventurous spirit to fall under the spell of the city and
discover its mysteries while touring it, either in search of a well-known
monument, or just exploring its winding streets without a fixed course.

of Charles V, when the
coat of arms, depicting the
huge two-headed eagle
with the imperial shield,
was placed over the arch, a
privilege granted Toledo by
the emperor.
Straight ahead is the street
called Calle Real del
Arrabal and almost
immediately on our right is
the Church of Santiago del
Arrabal (3), called the
Mudéjar Cathedral at times
because it is one of the
best examples of this
particular style of
architecture. Although the
actual date of construction
is unknown, it was
probably rebuilt during the
reign of Alfonso VI using
the remains of an Arab
mosque, easily deduced by
the free-standing tower,
reminiscent of a minaret.
Continuing on up the same
street veering to the left,
we come to the Puerta del
Sol (4), one of the most
celebrated gates in Toledo.
Mudéjar in style, it was
built in the 13th century by
the Knights Hospitaler and
contains elements not
usually associated with this
style, such as the remains
of an early Christian
sarcophagus or a small
classical bust.
After passing beneath the
arch, further ahead on the
Calle Carretas, we come to
another more simple gate
called Puerta de los
Alarcones. Through the
gateway and crossing Calle
Venancio González, we
arrive at the Paseo del
Miradero. From here, we
have a magnificent view of
the fertile plain in the
distance.
Continuing up Calle
Venancio González, we
come to the Plaza de
Zocodover (5). A busy
triangular-shaped plaza,
originally called Suk-al-
dawad or “market of the
beasts”, it is still a vital
center of city life dating
from the Moorish period.
Framed partially with
arcaded buildings, it once
hosted festivals, as well as
official and popular events.
At the other side of the
5
 plaza is the Cuesta de
Carlos V which leads to
the Alcázar (6), a fortress
that once was the imperial
residence and later became
a military museum and
regional library. It is
perched on the highest
point of the city, the place
where all the forts have
been built since the Roman
era. The present citadel is a
reconstruction of the
original building designed
by the architects
Covarrubias and Herrera
for Charles V which was
nearly destroyed by various
fires and practically
demolished during the
Spanish Civil War of 1936.
Of particular interest are
the north facade, the large
central courtyard, and the
imperial staircase or
staircase of honor.
View of the Alcázar
6
Extending from the eastern
facade of the Alcázar, the
oldest one with remains of
the original castle, a
terrace lookout allows us
to see over the walls and
offers a splendid view of
the narrow valley the river
Tajo forms while encircling
the city. Down and to the
left, we have the Alcántara
bridge and the San
Servando castle; opposite
are the remains of the
Artificio Juanelo, a curious
16th century device
invented to bring water
from the river to the
fortress, and to the right,
the bases of the pillars
used to support an ancient
Roman aqueduct long ago.
At the foot of the south
facade of the Alcázar, and
in one of the most
labyrinthian corners of the
city on the Calle San
Miguel, is the Church of
San Miguel. Some of the
construction dates from the
13th century, the rest was
built at a later date. The
Mudéjar tower is of
interest.
Continuing with our tour,
we skirt around the
Alcázar through the
lookout area until we
arrive at the Calle Alféreces
Provisionales. We then
proceed along this street
until we reach some steps

ITINERARY II
Starting at the Plaza de
Zocodover, and going
down the Calle del
Comercio and then Calle
del Hombre de Palo, in the
old quarter of the city
where the guilds once
thrived, we arrive at the
Plaza del Ayuntamiento
where the Cathedral (8)
stands majestically. It is the
Cathedral Primate of Spain
and one of the most
extraordinary monuments
in Spain and the world. The
visit is divided into two
parts: the church proper,
and the sacristy and chapel
of San Juan which are part
of the Cathedral museum.
Although construction
began in 1226, the
Cathedral was not finished
until the end of the 15th
century, undergoing
numerous changes and
additions after the
completion of the building.
As a result, although
essentially Gothic in style,
the Cathedral is an
extraordinary
structure where many
different architectural
styles and
exceptional artists
converge; artists such
as Master Martín,
Petrus Petri, Enrique
Egas, Berruguete,
Pedro and Juan Guas,
Narciso Tomé,
Rodrigo Alemán,
Villalpando and
many others. The
building has a
basilica ground plan

Cathedral
with a central nave and
double aisles. Although there
are numerous outstanding
elements, we will only
name a few.
All the exterior doors are
handsome, but the most
notable is the main
doorway. This entrance
consists of three doors: the
Door of Hell, Door of
Pardon and Door of
Judgement. Above the
main door is a sculptural
group depicting the Last
Supper. Two towers add
the finishing touches to the
facade, one topped by a
Flamboyant-Gothic spire
and the other by a
Gothic-Renaissance
dome.
In the interior we find
the choir, set in the
center of the main nave
with magnificent carved
choir stalls; the main
chapel and the splendid
Late Gothic high altar;
the ambulatory, a model
for other churches;
the spectacular
Baroque Transparente
sculpture behind the
high altar; and
numerous smaller
chapels, such as the
Corpus Christi
chapel, where they
still celebrate mass
according to ancient
Mozarab rites; the
chapels of San
Ildefonso, Santiago
and Reyes Nuevos,
to mention a few.
The sacristy in the
Cathedral museum
houses various
paintings by
Raphael, Rubens,
Velázquez, Goya, Titian
and others, in addition to
one of the greatest
paintings by El Greco, El
Expolio (The Disrobing of
Christ), as well as other
works by the artist.
Visitors can also see a
collection of inimitable
miniature codices, clerical
vestments, and the
Cathedral treasure which
includes the famous
processional monstrance
by Arfe, an elaborate work
in gold and silver with
precious stones weighing
more than 200 kilos.
9
 Leaving the Cathedral, we
find ourselves in the Plaza
del Ayuntamiento, and
almost directly in front, we
see the Archbishop’s
palace, an austere
Renaissance building. To
the left is the Ayuntamiento
or Town Hall (9), also
Renaissance in style, begun
by Herrera and finished off
by Jorge Manuel
Theotocopoulos, son of El
Greco, with two corner
towers with Baroque spires.
Towards our left is Calle
Santa Isabel which takes us
Cathedral sacristy
to Santa Isabel de los
Reyes (10), a cloistered
convent dating from 1477.
The church is usually open
all year round, making it
convenient to visit and to
admire the main altarpiece.
The convent also includes
the Church of San Antolín
and the palaces of Toledo
and Ayala which preserve
an interesting Gothic-
Mudéjar doorway with
Caliphal influences. Next
to the convent, we find the
palace of the king Don
10
Pedro, a private home with
huge wooden doors
incrusted with wrought
iron spheres, as well as the
palace of Suer Téllez of
Meneses, now a seminary.
In the nearby Plaza de San
Andrés is the Church of
San Andrés (11), one of the
most interesting structures
in Toledo. Its main body,
from the 12th or 13th
century, is Mudéjar and the
sanctuary is Late Gothic. It
has both Visigothic and
Moorish elements, as well
as a lovely altarpiece. It is
microcosm of the
diversity in the city.
Retracing our steps
towards the apse of
the Church of Santa
Isabel, we now
descend by the steep
Calle Sola until we
reach the Carrera de
San Sebastián where
the Church of San
Sebastián stands.
Although presently
closed, it preserves
the architectural
structure of the
mosque it once was.
Proceeding a little further,
we detour on the Paseo de
la Incurnia and come to
the banks of the river Tajo.
Going upstream, we can
stroll along a path where
we occasionally spot a
fisherman.
Straight ahead is the Casa
del Diamantista (Diamond
Merchant’s House), one of
the most typical houses in
Toledo, now a School of Arts
and Crafts. We now go right
up the Calle Bajada del
Barco until we reach the

A little further ahead on the
same street and then to the
left, we come out at the
Plaza de San Justo and the
Church of San Justo. Mainly
Baroque in style, the church
was originally Mudéjar, the
style preserved by the apse
and the lovely chapel of
Corpus Christi.
Through the plaza we
continue on the Calle Sixto
Ramón Parro until we
reach the walls of the
Cathedral and, to the right,
we find ourselves before
the Posada de la
Hermandad (13). The
building was constructed
during the reign of the
Catholic Monarchs, whose
matrimony produced the
union of Castile and
Aragón and the birth of the
12
kingdom of Spain at the
end of the 15th century.
The posada or inn served
as both a prison and the
headquarters of an
organization devoted to
hunting down evil doers,

preserved.

further on the left, we find
the mezquita de las
Tornerías (14). The ground
floor displays part of a
Roman castéllum aquae,
an ancient water supply
system, and the upper
floor, the remains of a
mosque. Four centrally
placed columns separate
and support the nine small
vaults. It is uncertain
whether it was built prior
to the conquest of the city
by Alfonso VI. Presently, it
is used as the Promotional
Center for Handicrafts
from Castilla-La Mancha,
a place where
monographic exhibits are
held.
Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes
ITINERARY III
Starting our walk at the
Cathedral, we proceed on
the Calle de La Trinidad
until we reach the
intersection of the streets of
El Salvador, Santo Tomé,
and Taller del Moro. The
old Jewish quarter or
Judería begins here, the
area once occupied by the
Jewish population of Toledo.
Backing up to the
aforementioned
intersection is the Church
of El Salvador, formerly an
ancient mosque built in
1041. Further down is the
Taller del Moro (15), a
16th century building used
as a workshop by the
artisans sculpting the
marble for the Cathedral.
The workshop is one of the
best examples of civil
Mudéjar architecture in
13
 El Greco House-museum
Toledo and is presently
used as a museum for
Moorish and Mudéjar
applied arts.
Down and around the
corner to the right, forming
the same block is the
Fuensalida palace, today
the headquarters of the
presidency of the
Communities Council of
Castilla-La Mancha, as well
as the Church of Santo
Tomé (16). Originally a
12th century mosque, the
church has a magnificent
14th century Mudéjar
tower with some Visigothic
elements on the doorway,
but the main attraction is

El Greco, “Burial of the

leads to Paseo del Tránsito,
an avenue with one of the
few garden areas in the
city. We turn right on to
the Calle de Samuel Leví
and come to the El Greco
House-museum (17), an
elegant and spacious
edifice with special
attention given to details
and furnishings of the
period of El Greco. It also
houses works by the

which takes us to the
bridge of San Martín (21);
built in the 13th century, it
is one of the few that still
preserves its two defensive
towers. Going down to the
banks of the river and
following the direction of
the current, we come to
the Baño de la Cava, a
solitary tower that used to
be the entrance to a bridge
built in the 12th century.
Returning to the Plaza de
San Martín, we should take
the Paseo de la Ronda
Nueva along the walls to
reach the Puerta del
Cambrón (22), originally a
gate from Visigothic times,
although its present aspect
dates from 1576, making it
Renaissance in style. The
arch is adorned with a
large coat of arms, and the
small towers are topped by
spires.
Leaving the walled area
behind and zigzagging
down a path and crossing
the road at the pedestrian
bridge, we come to Cristo
de la Vega (23), a Mudéjar
hermitage situated next to
the archeological remains
of the basilica of Santa
Leocadia, a burial place for
a large number of
Visigothic kings.
 ITINERARY IV
Starting at the Puerta del
Cambrón and walking
down the Paseo de
Recaredo to our right, we
can enjoy a long walk
along one of the best
preserved sections of the
city walls. The next stop is
the old Bisagra gate or
Puerta de Alfonso VI (24),
dating from 838 and one of
the purest Moorish
constructions. On the other
side, we find a small square
and proceed up on Calle de
Alfonso VI to the Church of
Santiago del Arrabal.
Shortly, we reach the Calle
Real del Arrabal and
proceed along this street
until we find the Calle del
Cristo de la Luz on our
right. We go through the
Puerta de Valmardón, a
10th century Moorish gate
and to the left, protected
by wrought iron gates, we
find Cristo de la Luz (25),
one of the most important
Mezquita del Cristo de la Luz
monuments in Toledo.
Dating from 999, it is an
atypical mosque with a
square ground plan with
the aisles and columns
forming nine architectural
spaces covered by caliphal
vaults. In the 12th century
a Romanesque-Mudéjar
sanctuary was added, the
only transformation the
building has undergone.
Unfortunately, its visiting
hours are very irregular,
and it is not easy to find it
open.
We continue walking to
the end of the street of
Calle del Cristo de la Luz
until we come to Calle de
los Alfileritos, and to our
right we continue down
the street until we reach
the Plaza de San Vicente.
Here we find the
neoclassical University
palace of Lorenzana, the
13th century Mudéjar
Church of San Vicente, and
Las Gaitanas, a cloistered
convent including a church

 OTHER PLACES OF INTEREST
Beyond the walls, the ruins
of a Roman Circus (31) can
be visited in the garden
area between Cristo de la
Vega and the Hospital de
Tavera. The circus was one
of the largest in the Roman
Empire, comparable to the
Circus Maximus of Rome,
attesting to the importance
of Toledo in ancient times.
Bridge of Alcántara
Also outside the walls, at
the foot of the cliff of the
Alcázar fortress is the
Alcántara bridge (32). This
bridge was built by the
Romans, although later it
was greatly reformed by
both Arabs and Christians.
It boasts a lovely Mudéjar
tower. At the west end is a
gate tower, the 10th
century Moorish Puerta de
Alcántara.
Nearby and at the end of
the Calle Cervantes and
right next to the wall, we
see the Puerta de Doce
Cantos, a gate of Moorish
origin. Crossing over the
Tajo river, on the other side
of the bridge, we have the
San Servando castle (33),
20
also Moorish in origin,
which was totally restored
in the Mudéjar style during
the 14th century and
nowadays serves as a
university residence and
youth hostel.
Within the city walls, we
can visit the Casa de las
Cadenas (34), presently the
Museum of Contemporary
Art, located on the
Calle de las Bulas in
the midst of the
Jewish quarter. The
building dates from
the 16th century and
is a typical example of
a traditional Toledan
house. The museum,
on the other hand,
contains works from
the 19th and 20th
centuries.
Many other monuments
are hidden among
the streets of Toledo,
and it would be
impossible to list all
of them here. It suffices to
mention a few, such as the
Church of Santa Justa, the
Convent of the Franciscanos
Descalzos or Barefoot
Franciscans, today the seat
of the Courts of Castilla-La
Mancha, Santa Eulalia
parish church, the New
University, the convent of
Santa Clara la Real or the
Corral de Don Diego.

P
erhaps somewhat eclipsed by the impressive
architectural assembly found in the capital, the
province of Toledo boasts other towns and places of
interest filled with artistic and historic treasures, as well as
magnificent landscapes. The following are some of the
trips we recommend.

ITINERARY II
After driving northeast for
28 kilometers on the
Cuenca road N-400, we
take the turnoff on our
right to Yepes. Here we
can admire the remains of
ancients walls and the
splendid Church of San
Benito built by Covarrubias
which boasts Plateresque
doorways, a Renaissance
tower, and a magnificent
altarpiece.
Some 15 kilometers to the
northeast is Ocaña, a town
which is considered a
model of Mudéjar
architecture. Seat on
various occasions of the
Castilian courts, Ocaña has
monuments as notable as
the Baroque arcaded Plaza
Mayor, the imposing
monumental fountain of
Fuente Grande, the
Mudéjar-Gothic Church of
San Juan Bautista, a former
synagogue with
architectural elements from
the 13th to the 17th
centuries, and the convents
of Santo Domingo and

In the town center, we find
the hermitage of the Santo
Niño, the old Casa de la
Inquisición (House of the
Inquisition), and the parish
Church of La Asunción.
After 12 more kilometers
on the same road, we
come to Tembleque. Of
interest here is the famed
Plaza Mayor from the era
of Philip IV, one of the
most lovely and original,
and which also houses
municipal buildings. Other
attractions include the
Gothic-Renaissance
Church of La Asunción, the
Baroque Casa de las

ITINERARY III
About 27 kilometers

passing Rielves, we arrive
at Torrijos, a town of great
economic importance
where we can admire the
collegiate Church of
Santísimo Sacramento, a
small 16th century Gothic-
Renaissance cathedral with
a splendid doorway and a
beautiful high altarpiece,
as well as La Caridad
hospital, and the chapel of
Cristo de la Sangre.
Around 12 kilometers later,
we come to the little town
of Maqueda, whose castle
can be seen from a great
distance. Also of interest
are the Mudéjar Vela tower
and the Rollo, a column
marking municipal
jurisdiction at the end of
the 15th century.
Escalona is our next stop,
13 kilometers to the north.
The castle here is
presumably second in
importance in the province
only to the one in
Montalbán. The remains of
ancient walls, the Plaza
Mayor, and the convent of

largest “Rollo” (ancient
stone pillar) in the
province, along with lovely
municipal buildings from
the 17th century.
Guadamur Castle
ITINERARY IV
Guadamur is about 12
kilometers southwest of
Toledo just off the
Navahermosa road C-401.
Here we find one of the
most splendid restored
castles, furnished in period
style. Also meriting a visit
are the hermitage of San
Antón, now a museum of
Popular Arts and Customs
of the Montes de Toledo,
the hermitage of Nuestra
Señora de la Natividad,
and the 16th century
Mudéjar parish church. A

ITINERARY VI
Traveling south 13
kilometers from Oropesa
on a local road, we reach
El Puente del Arzobispo, a
town with an important
pottery tradition and which
owes its name to the
spectacular bridge over the
Tajo river, built in the 14th
century by order of
Pedro Tenorio,
Archbishop Primate
of Toledo.
About ten kilometers
to the south is
Navalmoralejo.
Nearby, we find

Moorish town probably
abandoned around
the 11th century for
unknown reasons and
which can be admired

TRANSPORTATION
IN THE CITY
Toledo is the perfect city to
tour on foot. All of its
monuments, museums and
places of interest are close
to one another, and long
distances are not a
problem. However,
comfortable shoes are a
must since many streets are
made of stones and
cobblestones, and walking
can be tedious.
Public Parking:
El Corralillo (behind the
Alcázar fortress).
Private Parking:
In the historic quarter of
Toledo, parking is
controlled by the O.R.A.
and tickets are dispatched
from machines. In
addition, private garages
are listed below:
El Miradero on
Calle Gerardo Lobo;
Garaje Alcázar on Calle
del General Moscardó, 8;
Garaje Santo Tomé on
Calle de Santa Ursula, 3
and Garaje Toledo on
Calle del Instituto, 5.
A large fleet of taxis is also
available. The main stops
are located at the Cuesta
del Alcázar, Cuesta de la
Vega, and the bus station.
There is no permanent taxi
stop at the railway station.
Radio taxis:
w 925 25 50 50.
A special train, called the
Tren Imperial, offers
visitors a panoramic view
of Toledo and a visit
through some of the
streets. This train runs
everyday from 11 a.m. to
2 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. The
trip takes approximately 50
minutes.

CUISINE
Toledo is the leading Spanish province in small game
hunting and one of the richest for large game also. Garden
vegetables should also be mentioned because of their variety
and quality. Toledan cuisine, with a very rich culinary
tradition in the past, is once again becoming a force to
contend with, thanks to the excellent ingredients available.
A typical Toledan speciality is perdiz estofada (braised
partridge), but there are many other dishes, such as sopa
castellana (a type of garlic soup), pisto manchego (a medley
of chopped tomatos, zucchini, green peppers usually
accompanied with eggs), migas (fried breadcrumbs
seasoned with garlic and paprika), trucha a la toledana (trout
Toledo-style), cochifrito de cordero (lamb stew), tortilla a la
magra (omelette with lean ham), cordoniz a la toledana
(quail Toledo-style), venado con setas (venison with
mushrooms) or jabalí (boar), to mention a few.
The cheese of the region is also exceptional. The renowned
Manchego cheese, whether made purely from sheep’s milk, mixed
with cow’s milk, or cured in oil, is always appetizing. Sweet-
lovers will find it hard to resist one of Toledo’s prize-winning
delights, marzipan. With regards to wine, two regional
varieties with appellation d’origin: La Mancha - whites, rosés,
clarets and reds; and Méntrida - full-bodied wines, fruity
wines, reds and rosés, are perfect with meals or anytime.

31
 Ceramics
HANDICRAFTS
Toledo’s craft tradition in
metalworking is legendary.
Swords, daggers, suits of
armor, wrought iron
grating, locks, furniture,
and decorative items
continue preserving the
quality that have made
them world famous.
Ceramics and pottery are
two crafts that have seen
their popularity increase
from the 16th century to
the present-day.
Polychrome and glazed
ceramics with both
naturalistic and geometric
shapes from the region of
Talavera and El Puente del
Arzobispo are well-known
for their excellent quality.
Other crafts include the art
of damascene, a technique
consisting of inlaying gold
or silver threads in inferior
metals forming figures or
patterns in keeping with
the artist’s imagination;
embroidery, which is
especially noteworthy in
32
the town of Lagartera,
famous for its fine
embroidered linens and
tablecloths, as well as
excellent leatherwork.
LEISURE
ACTIVITIES AND
SPECIAL EVENTS
To find out about the
different activities that can
be enjoyed in Toledo and
its province, consult the
local newspaper or a
bulletin published by the
Delegación Provincial de
la Consejería de
Educación y Cultura
which can be obtained at
Tourist Offices. But one
place that deserves to be
highlighted on Toledo’s
cultural scene is the Rojas
Theater, a 19th century
building located on the
Plaza Mayor which serves
at times as a musical
auditorium, a theater, or
movie house, depending
on the program.
Toledo has the greatest
concentration of bars and
nightspots on Calle
Alfileritos, the Plaza de
Zocodover and adjacent
streets, as well as outside
the walls in the district
known as Santa Teresa.
On the other hand and as
previously mentioned, the
province of Toledo ranks
high in abundance of fish
and game. The most
common species of large
game are deer, boar and roe
deer; and for small game,
partridge, quail, hare, rabbit
and ringdove. The Montes
de Toledo is the mountain
area with the greatest
concentration of game. In
regards to fishing, carp, red
mullet, bogue, and tench
are the most common. For
more information
concerning game preserves
and licenses, contact:

Corpus Christi Festival
POPULAR
FESTIVALS
The festival or fiesta of
Corpus Christi in Toledo,
declared of international
interest to the tourist, has
been held on the Sunday of
the ninth week after Holy
Week for the last eight
centuries. Presided over by
the archbishop primate
himself, it is a spectacular
procession displaying the
monumental monstrance by
Arfe, among other
treasures. Houses are also
adorned for the occasion
with antique fabrics from
the medieval weavers’
guilds, and the ground is
covered with flowers and
fragrant herbs. The entire
city bends over backwards
for the occasion.
Other important festivals
are: Danzantes y Pecados
(Dancers and Sinners) in
the town of Camuñas, the
same day as Corpus Christi;
the celebration of the Rosa
del Azafrán in Consuegra,
the last Sunday of October;
and the Olive festival in
Mora de Toledo, the last
Sunday in April. All of them
have been declared of
interest to the tourist.
