General Moscardo, 2 Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain and Canary Islands, 45001, +34925222600

So I arrived at 8:30am local time. That's about 2:30am in Indy. The following may be best understood by knwing that I didn't sleep on the flight from Atlanta to Madrid. Don't know why. It could have something to do with the personal screen everyone got and the free movies. Nice. I forgot how much trouble it is to get from the airport to the train that takes you to Toledo. And I am definitely a little rusty on my navigation skills of the Madrid metro. I waited at one station for 30 minutes try...
Madrid, Spain helio85Ok so it's a little cold here. That is at night. During the day its really nice. Though the Spaniards don't seem to think so. They have the heat on in their stores like its a blizzard outside. **** it gets hot in them. This update is to cover the events from the train to Toledo until now. The train ride went smoothly. It's only 30 minutes from Madrid to Toledo so you barely have enough time to get situated before they tell you that you are arriving. I was able to figure out the bus when I got...

... small, two-story restaurant with traditional Spanish decor, my friends and I ordered tortilla española, patatas bravas, and some chicken. Tortilla española, a staple in the Spanish diet, is like a better version of an omelette with herbs on top. Patatas bravas are like pan fried potatoes with a couple of different sauces. Both of these Spanish dishes are delicious, and neither has flavors too exotic for a picky set of American taste buds.<br>
Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain and Canary Islands ashleylutt... egg. The oily broth had no flavour. The local specialty is partridge (and all this time I thought it was hotel hotties!) - stringy and flavourless. It was basically boiled poultry. The accompanying bread was hard and stale. I was roasting after eating the hot soup and hot partridge dish. Mary had roasted pig - lacking a little salt, but roasted pig is always a yummy dish. According to the menu, dessert was "trifle with scum". Mmmm ...
Toledo, Spain pwong... far from home. So what it is specifically? In no particular order: the people. Friendly, funny, proud, passionate, people who aren't afraid to say what they mean, the honesty of it all. The weather: it's Spain, 'nuff said. The clock: everything operates a bit later, and a bit more flexible. Being "late" is a relative term! Dinner is after 10 pm, and some clubs don't even open till 3 am. Getting home at 6 or 7 in the morning after a night ...
Madrid, Spain skye... to compose a love poem from them, it would surely costed you a fortune, and not to mention how you were going to carry them back all in one piece instead of turning them into more pieces!) The Cathedral de ...
Toledo, Spain vipro... to upload pics to this site, especially when internet is limited and your paying by the second (literally). Everything is fabulous. I must say the Spanish life and culture is different than i expected which is a surprise, even having traveling here before, settling in a place is a big difference. Im living in the trendiest, hippest part of town which is extremely convenient and a lot of fun. The people are here ...
Madrid, Barrio Chueca, Spain thadandlauren... Zedan, Carlos and Beckham. The best part was getting to sit on the coach and players bench by the field which consisted of bright blue Recardo racing seats. I shall end this entry with a hilarious quote destined to become a classic by my hostel roommate Amchit from London. Regarding the intense heat in Madrid, he commented: ¨What is with the heat? It is too much. Look (pointing to his thighs), I´m getting tan lines and I´m Indian!¨
Toledo, Spain jjwongSorry to not have written anything in so long, but I've been having computer problems. <br><br>Right now I am in Toledo, Spain, right outside of Madrid. Ok, lots of daytrippers and our buses that stay the night. <br><br>After Levanto, I will to Dijon, France, which was boring. Then I went to Nimes, France, which was fun with a good hostel where everybody hung out. <br><br>Then to Barcelona. That is one crazy city. I had a good time there and stayed longer than I had ...
Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain and Canary Islands globehugger... at night and only came across pensioners walking home from mass or a local bar and the odd, perplexed tourist. Toledo's Old City is not large. As it was once the main city of central Muslim Spain; had a flourishing Jewish community; acted as a temporary capital of Spain; and is the seat of the head of the Spanish Catholic Church, relics, monuments and historical buildings are crammed into its walls like a shopping basket full of exotic fruit. The Old City sits high ...
