In 30 minutes with the bullet train we reach one of the most amazing cities of Spain, Toledo,
Picturesqued sited on a hill above the river Tajo. Behind the old walls lies much evidence of the city's rich history. The romans built the fortress on the site of the present-day Alcazar. The Visigoths made of Toledo their capital in 6th centuryand left behind several churches.
In the Middle Ages Toledo was the melting pot of Christian, Muslim andJewish cultures and it was during this period that the city most outstanding monument-its cathedral-was built. In the 16th century the painter El Greco came to live in Toledo and today the city is home of many of his works.
The city of the 3 cultures where we will visit a mosque built up in 999, a synagogue in the jew area and a gothic cathedral

It is the most spectacular sited city in Spain. The old town is set high on a rocky spur and is surrounded by two rivers. From afar it looks like a ship, the medieval Alcazar on its sharp crag forming the prow , the pinnacles of the Gothic cathedral rising up like a mast and the aqueduct trailing behind like a rudder. A relatively short journey from Madrid by bus or train (35 minutes with the bullet train). It is well worth to look. Easy to negotiate on foot, there is plenty to see and do for a day trip from Madrid ;an Alcazar ( medieval fortress), a roman Acueduct and a gothic cathedral and.....How a bout trying some local food?

El Escorial is a historical residence of the king of Spain, about 45 kilometres (28 miles) northwest of the Spanish capital, Madrid. It is one of the Spanish royal sites and functions as a monastery, royal palace, museum, and school.
Philip II engaged the Spanish architect, Juan Bautista de Toledo, to be his collaborator in the design of El Escorial. Juan Bautista had spent the greater part of his career in Rome, where he had worked on the basilica of St. Peter's, and in Naples, where he had served the king's viceroy, whose recommendation brought him to the king's attention. Philip appointed him architect-royal in 1559, and together they designed El Escorial as a monument to Spain's role as a center of the Christian world.
On November 2, 1984, UNESCO declared The Royal Site of San Lorenzo of El Escorial a World Heritage Site. It is an extremely popular tourist attraction, often visited by day-trippers from Madrid - more than 500, 000 visitors come to El Escorial every year. MONDAYS IT IS CLOSED
