Locals fed up with Tourists?

An old bridge to the town - note the coaches

The drive from Cordoba to Toledo was quite a long one and it seemed a lot colder and wetter when we arrived compared to when we had left. Hopefully this is simply a cold spell and not a taste of things to come as we head north.

Toledo is a walled city built high above a river gorge and within its walls the town is full of beautiful old buildings – and when we went was heaving with school kids touring the place.

Toledo is famous for its steel and marzipan, oh and braised partridge.

The town is very nice for a wander around although we didn’t visit anywhere in particular. Toledo is famous for its steel and marzipan, oh and braised partridge. I bought a local ‘leatherman’ to replace one I had lost a while ago. Claire and Jay tried the Marzipan cakes. We all skipped the partridge.

One other local specialty was driving fast. Particularly through very narrow streets with no pavements filled with kids and tourists. Me thinks the locals are fed up with tourists! Dave
