Toledo's status in Spain is as high as Rome's status in Italy, and it's the ultimate beauty to stay until late in the evening and see Toledo in the golden sunset. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoLooking at such weather, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu have no possibility of meeting such a beautiful scenery.

Standing outside the ancient city, it's easy to pique Yunluo's curiosity about Toledo's history. In 567 AD, Toledo became the capital of Visigoths in Spain. During the 300 years of Visigothic rule, it was not peaceful, and there are few traces of them in today's Toledo.

History is so cruel that the Visigoths have only laid the foundation for this small city for 300 years. Later Arabs, Christians, and Jews lived in the city, and the Gothic architecture was left to the wind and rain.

The Alcázar Castle seen from here is extraordinarily magnificent, and it is so outstanding in this short and dense ancient city, and these low and dense ancient city buildings have such a thick sense of historical saturation that people can't help but revel in it.

Walking down the Horta River from the hills outside the city, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu re-enter the ancient city of Toledo from the Alcontara Bridge. The Alcantara Bridge is also known as the San Martín Bridge. Built in the 13th century, the bridge stands two defensive towers in the Gothic style.

The Monastery of San Juan (Monasteriode Sanjuan de Giosres), which also belonged to the Gothic Catholic kings, was Juan? Jay@, w∧ww. of Juanguas, built by order of the Catholic kings (losreyescatolicos). The monastery is distinguished by its ornate carvings and the high level of carving on the cloister.

Even more fascinating than the history of the Alcontara Bridge is the fate of the two princesses who crossed the bridge: the daughter of the Visigothic king and the princess's daughter-in-law who the next king retrieved from France.

The first king of the Visigoths in Spain, in order to get the city in the trade, used his daughter as a marriage tool and married him as far away as present-day France. The Spanish princess walked out of the gates of Toledo with a grief, crossed the Alcontara bridge, crossed the Pyrenees, and never returned to marry again. She was abused to death by her husband.

The second king still liked to use royal marriages for some political purpose, but he saw the tragedy of the Spanish princess and decided to marry a French daughter-in-law in a different way. So the French princess crossed the mountains and crossed the Alcontara bridge into Toledo.

Fortunately, she was luckier than the princess in front of her, not only was she not abused by her husband. He also brought his faith to Spain, and 19 years after the Visigoths occupied the Spaniards, the Visigothic king was officially baptized as a Catholic, and 3 years later, the Spanish court became one with the Roman Catholic Church.

Since then, the fates of Spain and the Catholic Church have been closely linked. It is undeniable that the degree of civilization of a nation or belief directly determines its survival.

Walk through the toughest part to the Jewish Quarter of the ancient city. The terrain is much gentler. It was here that the church of San Juan was built, built by Fernando and Isabel to show the supremacy of the Catholic faith in Spain, and the two rulers planned to use it as their mausoleum, but then they set their sights on Granada.

And the royal chapel was built there. Yunluo and Yan Shenyu didn't go in, they stopped for a while to look at the appearance and continued to swim in the ancient city.

Compared to Carcassonne, Toledo is more of a living, with uneven cobblestone roads flanked by houses or small shops that are not open for tourists. They are more for their own lives.

Stroll through Toledo and you'll find: Locals and tourists weave through the winding alleys together, with the only difference being that perhaps residents have baguettes in their arms and tourists with cameras in their hands.

But the shop has been through some wind and rain. The signboard clearly says "1856", which has been counted for nearly 160 years. Named the same name as the Church of Santo Tomé in the city of Toledo, this is a century-old shop that sells Almond Cake, a traditional pastry in Toledo, and is known as Toledo's "Rice Village". Almond cake is the most famous dessert in the region. Originating from Arabia, it has a strong almond aroma.

Almond cake is made according to an ancient method and is still very popular today. The shop has a variety of marzipan cakes, which are one of the best local travel gifts. The little almond cake looks cute, but it's hard to say if it's to your liking or not.

Because the clouds came later, I bought a few pieces at this shop next to Sukh de Bel Square. The taste is very sweet and greasy, not as good as the beef tongue cake in Daoxiang Village~ But this dim sum is really loved by the locals, they each have to buy a big box to go, and the scene of queuing is a fight with Daoxiang Village during the New Year.

Located in the heart of the ancient city, the cathedral is a landmark of Toledo, illustrating the place of Catholicism in Toledo. From the Visigoths, it was a center of worship, to the Arabs, it was a central mosque, and now, of course, it has resumed its status as a Catholic church.

The cathedral is the pinnacle of Gothic art, with the ground floor taken from the ancient Romanesque style. Look at the church building itself, one style prevails over another, and many artists have left their mark on this church: Pedroberruguete, Enriqueegas.

Petruspetri and Juan Guas. This explains why the towers on both sides of the church are asymmetrical.

There is information opposite the cathedral, you can also get a free map, and there is a free toilet to use.

After a circle around the ancient city, back to Sukh de Bel Square, the rain began to fall again. On the east side of the square is the Arabic-style wall, and through the Holy Blood Gate, there is a Museum of the Holy Cross. It mainly displays Spanish ceramics and oil paintings, etc., and is free to enter, but Yunluo and Yan Shenyu did not go, only saw the statue of Cervantes outside the Holy Blood Gate.

As night falls, like San Gimignano in Italy, most of the tourists in the small town of Toledo gradually disperse, leaving only a pure Toledo.

Yunluo and Yan Shenyu went to the Chinese supermarket at noon to buy freshly baked baguettes, the sky was still drizzling, walking on the wet stone road, surrounded by quiet dark blue, at that moment, Toledo's history passed through every inch of Yunluo's skin, Yunluo really thought he was a resident of this town.

To get from Madrid to Toledo, it is recommended to take a bus. Get off at L6plazaeliptica and follow the signs for TerminalAutobuses, and when you exit the station, look out for the purple arrows on the pillars on the same floor, which read: Taquillamadridtoledoenelnivel.

Follow the arrows to find the ALSA bus ticket window. It is recommended to buy a one-way trip, not a round-trip, and the time is limited.

When returning to Madrid from Toledo, be sure to ask which car is going to Madrid, as the electronic display is generally inaccurate and you can't tell which direction the car is heading by looking at the screen.

If you are staying in Madrid for a long time, it is advisable to spend a night in Toledo to fully soak up the atmosphere of the town. Large luggage can be stored at a hotel in Madrid, provided that you return from Toledo and stay at that hotel.

There is information outside the city gate of Toledo Pisagra, opposite the main entrance of the cathedral, both of which provide free maps, and there is information in the cathedral and free toilets.

There is a Chinese restaurant near Sukedebel Square, buffet style, and it is recommended to go out for a full meal if you want to eat that bite for many days, 9.95 euros per person, and the dishes are also rich.

There is a Chinese supermarket on the right hand side of the Chinese buffet (facing the Chinese restaurant) where you can buy water. It is recommended to have a 0.5 euro stick, which is baked and sold, and it is very fragrant.

McDonald's in Spain, the most common custard burger is 1 euro a piece, which should be the best value for lunch. If you want to save money, you can come to two meals per meal, but don't look for Yunluo to settle accounts when you want to vomit~

Take the 71 from the bus stop north of the Alcázar Castle, you can go out of the city to see the panoramic view of Toledo, get on the bus and ask the driver where you want to see the whole of Toledo, and the driver will tell you in advance. When you come back, you don't have to take the car, and it's easy to walk back the same way.

Today is a day of calm and bad luck.

The original plan was to leave Toledo early this morning and go back to Madrid and go directly to Segovia (Toledo does not have direct public transportation to Segovia, so it can only be transferred through Madrid), but a series of accidents made the penultimate day of Yan Shenyu and Yunluo's trip a relatively chicken day. Let's start at the beginning.

Check out in the morning, all the way downhill is very easy, follow the same way to the Toledo bus station, and successfully buy a ticket to Madrid at 10 o'clock. Arrived in Madrid at 11 o'clock, arrived in Segovia at 1 p.m., and it was dark at least 9 p.m., so there was enough time to say anything. But just as Yan Shenyu and Yan Shenyu happily enjoyed the last sunshine in Toledo.

When Yan Shenyu and his compatriots who came to Toledo to engage in engineering were chatting high, Yan Shenyu suddenly touched his pocket, and it was over! The apple has fallen to the hotel!! This apple is not the other apple! You know. With a "buzz" in his brain, he hurriedly ran to Yan Shenyu and said, "Don't talk, the apple has fallen into the hotel." ”

Yan Shenyu immediately decided to go back and look for it. After going to the ticket window to change the ticket for 1 hour later, Yan Shenyu rushed back to the hotel. The bus stands at the foot of the mountain, and the hotel can be at the top of the mountain! Fortunately, 40 minutes later, Yan Shenyu was panting and standing in front of Yunluo with an apple. It's not a loss.

Yan Shenyu is a meticulous child, every time he checks out, he will check carefully, and he will never stuff things under the pillow, this time I don't know why, the ghost made the god drop something! So remind everyone not to put things under the pillow, you can't see it when you get up, and it's very likely to forget if you can't see it.

The apple is back, but the time can't be found, and when the schedule is very tight, 1 hour is so important. However, even if they wasted 1 hour looking for apples, Yan Shenyu and Yunluo still wanted to act according to the original plan. But in Madrid, the original plan was completely shattered.
