Description
Toledo, an ancient city perched on a hill above the plains of Castilla La Mancha, is the capital of the region and a World Heritage Site. Known as the "city of three cultures", due to the centuries-long coexistence of Christians, Arabs and Jews, Toledo preserves behind its walls an artistic and cultural legacy in the form of synagogues, mosques and churches and an impressive Cathedral, one of the wonders of the city, presided over by El Greco's painting Expolio en la Sacristía Mayor, considered one of the painter's most outstanding works. Segovia, located in central Spain, in the province of Castile-León, with its old town and Roman Aqueduct declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Centuries of settlement have resulted in a rich architectural legacy, including medieval walls, Romanesque churches, an ancient royal palace and a Gothic cathedral. The iconic ancient Roman Aqueduct, built in the centre of the city to bring water from the neighbouring Sierra de Guadarrama, has more than 160 arches, mostly in dry-jointed granite, and towers over Plaza Azoguejo in the city centre.
What we are going to do?
We will make an excursion with guided visits to Toledo and Segovia, from Madrid. We will depart for Toledo, where, in the morning, we will discover the city, the Cathedral, the Jewish quarter and the Alcázar. After the visit to Toledo we will meet at Plaza Granadal to go to Segovia. We will start with a guided tour that starts under the imposing and world famous Aqueduct of Segovia, one of the most representative icons of this beautiful World Heritage City. During our tour we will visit the main monuments, enclaves and viewpoints that make Segovia one of the essential excursions from Madrid: the Plaza Mayor where the spectacular Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria shines with its own light, the Mirador de Canaleja and of course, the Alcazar. Finally, we will head back to Madrid to finish the tour.
