Magical Night in Toledo: The Spell of the Sleeping City

I love Toledo. The most beautiful city in Spain. The city where I was born and raised, where I studied History and Archeology at the local university. Where I have been working as a tour guide and manager of archaeological heritage for more than fifteen years. If I were to visit Toledo, I would love to do it with a local friend who shows me its artistic wonders and its historical past, unique in the world. Place of coexistence among Jews, Christians and Muslims for 800 years. But also shares with me its gastronomy, its traditions, its crafts, the daily life of the people of Toledo. . . I would love to be your guide and host in my city and help you live a unique experience. I will take you to places closed to the public that no one else shows, such as cloistered nunneries or basements with Roman and medieval archaeological remains where I was personally working. We can walk through the most representative streets and squares but also through narrow alleys and corners that most visitors do not see. We can explore the Cathedral, the Alcázar and the Synagogues, but also take a monographic route through the old Jewish quarter, or through Toledo where El Greco lived and worked in the 16th century. If you want we can also enjoy a wine tasting and local tapas, try the excellent Manchego cheese or the best acorn-fed Iberian ham. Do you fancy trying the best marzipan in the world? I will show you the place where it is made. Come with me and you will live the difference between a tourist and a traveler.
