Walk along the breath of the Middle Ages – Toledo

#JulyTravelSupport Just one hour from Madrid. But the moment you arrive in Toledo, you step into a completely different time. The moment you cross the Alcantara Bridge over the Tagus River, the boundary between the present and the past blurs, and you begin to feel as if you are entering the embrace of a medieval city. As you walk along the stone-paved streets, winding alleys, and quaint buildings, you will naturally arrive at Zocodover, the central square of Toledo. This is a place where travelers gather to rest, small markets are held, and a cup of coffee is shared, and it is a space that is both a market of the past and a ‘comma’ of today. At the heart of the city stands the Toledo Cathedral. With its Gothic spires piercing the sky, light filtering through stained glass, and El Greco’s ‘The Stripping of Christ,’ this massive cathedral is a place where faith and art meet perfectly. And the Alcazar, standing majestically on a hill that watches over the city. Now used as a military museum, this place where the strategies of past kings, armies, and empires breathes shows that Toledo is not just a beautiful city, but also in the middle of history. #ToledoTravel #Toledo

#July Travel Support Fund **Toledo**, located in central Spain, is a city where various cultures and eras coexist, so much so that it is called ‘A Thousand Years of History in a Day.’ It was the capital of Spain in the past, and is also a symbolic city of cultural fusion where Rome, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity flourished together. At the entrance to the city, the first thing that greets you is the arched stone bridge, the Alcantara Bridge, that crosses the Tagus River. After crossing the river and climbing the hill, you enter the medieval castle walls, and you are greeted by narrow, labyrinthine alleyways, red-roofed views, magnificent cathedrals, and Gothic architecture. Here are some of the most notable sights: •Toledo Cathedral: The epitome of Spanish Gothic architecture, featuring El Greco's masterpieces •Alcazar: A fortress on a hill and now a military museum •Ponte San Martin: A photogenic spot with a panoramic view of the western side of Toledo •El Greco Museum: A space to experience El Greco's artistic world •Plaza de Zocodover: The central square where travelers and locals gather •Jewish Quarter and Monastery of San Juan: A quiet area where history and religion meet Toledo is a day trip, but it is recommended to stay for a day to see the entire city turn red at sunset. A place where you can walk along the traces of the Middle Ages during the day and enjoy time slowly while looking at the city lit up under the walls at night. That is the charm of Toledo. #ToledoTravel #Toledo
