Toledo is the capital of the province Toledo and is an ancient walled city wth narrow streets, ancient architecture, lovely open plazas and perfect views!
We started off yesterday visiting a beef feed lot. 10,000 bull beef produced annually. Basically a family business.
Took the opportunity to climb up onto the water treatment plant for amazing views. This is just a small amount of the hay or straw used. The tractor driver can cart 3 bales at a time seemingly by feel ‘cos there was no way he could see where he was going.
And on to amazing Toledo. What a treat. Lovely narrow streets. Canopy overhead on many as I imagine it would get very hot. Absolutely charming city. Fortunately we managed to find our way back to our hotel through the maze. :-)
Tasting at the Cheese Museum (differently aged sheep cheeses) came with instructions... sniff, lick, taste and chew thoroughly, breathe and repeat...AND a Temperanillo Rose. Heaven!

View of the city from over the river. Our hotel was near the impressive building at the top.,
Here it ts closer up - the Presidents residence we think.
Panoramic view from the walls of the city.
