“Toledo”

The city of the 3 cultures:
Christians, Jews and Muslims

One complet day of culture with International VIP Valencia.

Toledo, is a city from the Castilla la Mancha region where the ingenious, Don Quixote, with his faithful Sancho Panza spent time and the land is forever immortalized by Miguel de Cervantes.

It’s obvious why the city is named the “open air museum”. The historical centre of the city is full of medieval buildings, surrounded by thick walls. Toledo, has a nickname “the city of three cultures” which is not surprising given that almost all the houses here are a reminder of an era in which the Muslims, Christians and the Jews peacefully coexisted and the Arab influence is particularly noticeable.

A large number of unique monuments and the special atmosphere of Toledo attracts many tourists.

It’s as if the narrow streets take you back to the era that the city was the capital and home to royalty.

We will have a private guide who will show us the history of the city that was once the capital of the Spanish Empire until 1560 when it changed to Madrid.

For this reason there is so much to see and do here and you will definietly be impressed!

We will take the bus to a panoramic viewpoint of the city to see it’s stunning position from the cliffs of the Tajo river (one of Spains main rivers) with incredible views.

We will be able to explore the palaces, the cathedral, and the house museum of Greco, an internationally famous painter from the sixteenth century.

The steel in Toledo is considered the best in Europe for making swords and daggers, and Toledo is still considered a city of armorers and jewelers.
 
It’s here that they use the medieval Arab method called Damascene to work with the steel. It consists of applying threads of gold or silver in the weapons or steel jewelry. 

Although nowadays the majority of the masters of this trade in Toledo, dedicate their time to making copies of famous swords, because these are very popular among tourists, some of the armourers are still making real armour for different country’s armies, and for steel lovers and knife collectors. 

Hollywood has been a faithful client of the Toledo steel makers for decades and its most famous swords are those in “The Lord of the Rings”.

If you definitely want to know a city that identifies the Spanish Middle Ages and its history, do not hesitate to come to this amazing excursion, just walking through its streets will make you feel like a movie character.

Some images say more than a thousand words.
