70 kilometers from Madrid, Toledo suddenly appears, dominating the plain on a huge boulder that seems to defy the surrounding space. The city was once the capital of the Spanish kingdom. From its hilltop, it majestically dominates the waters of the Tagus. The Romans built a fortress on the site where the Alcazar now stands. In the 6th century, the Visigoths made the city their capital. Inside, it's like being in a labyrinth: the narrow streets all look alike. The city has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It's an enclave that's part of the golden book of Spanish memory, having been home to Arab, Jewish and Christian cultures for centuries, in an atmosphere of tolerance and peaceful cohabitation. An unmissable getaway from Madrid!
