Toledo city streets (A Spanish-Moroccan journey Part 2)

Toledo city streets, originally uploaded by alreza.

The next place in the Spanish leg of the journey was Toledo which was 70km south of Madrid. Apparently this placed now is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Toledo city looks like it was built on a hill with rocky slopes that were wrapped with roads and on some slopes ended by the Targus river.

Walking through the streets of mostly cobbled stones, one could still see remnants of Moorish architecture. It really reminded me of medieval times...of knights and knaves, of horses and carriages....Anyway, we did visit the local smithy where the ancient art of sword, sheild and armor making were inherited during the Muslim era in Toledo. From here, we would re-trek their journey to Cordoba (see Part 3).
