Magical Night in Toledo: The Spell of the Sleeping City

"Los Cobertizos" neighborhood is one of the most beautiful urban areas in Spain. Away from the most touristy streets, it is crisscrossed by narrow cobbled alleys that surround ancient cloistered convents that are still active. The nuns spend their lives inside praying, meditating and making delicious artisan sweets. It is my favorite neighborhood in Toledo. Since I was a kid I loved walking there, in solitude, at sunset, listening only to the sound of my footsteps and some prayer or song coming from inside the nunneries. As an adult, I had the opportunity to work, training to be an archaeologist, in the monastery of the Comendadoras de Santiago sisters, in its wonderful Renaissance cloister. That is why I can offer you a unique plan in the city: not only touring this beautiful area, listening legends and historical anecdotes, but also to access the interior of the nunnery, see the charming cloister and taste the sweets that the nuns cook. If you wish we can also have a coffee or a hot chocolate.
