Paseo San Eugenio s/n Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain and Canary Islands, 45003, 925-282-373
Arriving at Toledo's train station gives one that wild, wild, west feeling and sure enough, when you enter the city and scan its vast panorama, you can see dust, dry land and cactus-like shrubs in the distance—the perfect haven for snakes and scorpions. Toledo (La Castile-La Mancha region) is only a half an hour train ride from Madrid. It is incredibly well-preserved, and the entire city has been declared a national monument (modern exteriors are prohibited by the Spanish government). T...
Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain and Canary Islands paul-julesSo I made it!! We have visited SO many cool places since we've been in Spain. I've posted a bunch of the pictures on www.dropshots.com/SarahMarieRue and I can briefly explain some of them! Madrid is a beautiful city!! It is very modern and has a lot of cool shopping and restaurants (and about a thousand Starbucks!) It is kind of like New York City but with less skyscrapers (not nearly as tall of buildings.) It is actually really cold here! I've been wearing the only warm clothes I have like 5...

MADRID-SEGOVIA-AVILA-TO LEDO
We left the hotel at 11:30 & drove to Segovia. The roads in Spain seemed a little more confusing as compared to those in Portugal. We reached Segovia & visited the Alcazar & the Cathedral. Then we visited the Roman Aqueduct which is a 2000 yr old structure built by the Roman invaders.
We drove to Avila, again a walled city dating back to the 11th century. We took a toy train ride around the city.
In t...

Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain and Canary Islands europapart123... Connection. At one point, you look down through a window in the floor onto the casket of the painter resting in a basement stone grotto. Cool. I put my palms together when we left and said bye-bye to India.<br><br> At this point, we’d been to 2 bars with a nice selection of tapas at the second one. Typically, I dumped some oil or something on my shirt so the waiter gestures to 'hold it’ and ...
Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain and Canary Islands thedicksons... get up the city, we had to take a series of around 5 escalators. There was a woman with her older mom who was not aware that this was a walking tour, but she made it around alright. We first stopped at the basilica (closed for renovations). Here we split up into Spanish speaking group and an English speaking group. The first place we stopped to go in was the St. Thomas church. It was very pretty, but I wasn´t allowed to take pictures in there. I ...
Toledo, Spain amberlee... and also the security check area. I expected airport-level security at least, but beyond the X-raying of bags... nothing... No metal detector, no extra guards making sure no one sneaks in... I suspect there might have been cameras watching, but somehow, things seemed pretty relaxed. We took pictures next to the train, and finally boarded and took our reserved seats in car #1. Very nice -- comparable to Japan's bullet train. At 10:20 ...
Toledo, Spain hsb... der Vorschlag gemacht, dass wir jedes Mal wenn wir Kochen, den Herd mit Alufolie abdecken, damit wir ihn danach nicht putzen müssen. Klar doch, ist ja voll bequem! Ich schlug trotzdem vor, dass ich mich opfere den Herd zu putzen. Wir sind schon soweit, dass ich nur noch "Greenpeace" sagen muss und sie wissen, dass ich anders denke. Da sieht man auch das Konversationsniveau, dass ich bis jetzt habe.;-) Den Bezug den die Spanier zum Abfall haben werde ...
Madrid/Toledo, Spain kusa... like Ronaldinho's in Camp Nou) for you to take photos with and no bogus trophy for you to hold and take photos too.... A slight disappointment here~ Dinner was eaten in a buffet restaurant (Fresc Co ...
Toledo, Spain vipro... over 4 hours, but that could be because I stopped at H&M on the way....hmmm. Clothing here is pretty comparably priced to the United States, but it is EXPENSIVE to eat anywhere! Just a 200 mL bottle of coke costs almost $3! Luckily I am on pension completa as part of my program which means my host family makes me lunch to go. I usually find a nice park somewhere and eat lunch while enjoying the sunshine. Because I am on a different schedule ...
