Plaza De Zocodover

Before it was an Arab market and until a few years ago there was a street market called "popularly" on Tuesday, it was Enrique IV who granted Toledo a market every Tuesday, a tradition that comes from far away and is currently held in the Parque de la Vega. Zocodover comes from Arabic, it means market of the beasts, and this square was also used to publicly execute the condemned.

Iglesia de Santo Tome

The church of Santo Tomé or Santo Tomás Apóstol is located in the historic center of the Spanish city of Toledo, and was founded after the reconquest of this city by King Alfonso VI de León.1 It appears cited in the twelfth century , as built on the site of an old 11th century mosque.2 This mosque, together with others from the city, were used as Christian churches without major changes, since no buildings were destroyed in the capture of the city. However, at the beginning of the fourteenth century, due to being in a dilapidated state, it was completely rebuilt by Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, Lord of Orgaz, and the old minaret of the mosque was transformed into a bell tower in Mudejar style.3 Its fame is due to all for housing inside, the painting The Burial of the Count of Orgaz by El Greco, which can be seen by accessing the back of the church.

Catedral Primada

Beyond its concrete historical and artistic value, the Cathedral Church has a value and a theological significance as a reference for the pastoral life of the whole diocese, for priests and for the lay faithful. In addition, the cathedrals have been the forge place of our Western and European culture; they were the embryo of the current universities, they anticipated welfare work and they were art workshops. Today the cathedrals are witnesses of that culture and message of transcendence and values ​​for the people of today.

Synagogue of Saint Mary the White

Santa María la Blanca is a temple located in the Spanish city of Toledo. Built in 1180 as a synagogue and, having functioned as such for 211 years, it was expropriated and transformed into a church as a result of the pogrom of 1391.

It was our first time visiting Toledo and didn’t know what to expect. However, the tour exceeded all our expectations. First, the ride to and from Toledo was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Second, our guide was just absolutely amazing. She was friendly, knowledgeable but most of all, very pleasant to be around. Felt like a friend more than a tour guide. Lastly, the itinerary was just perfect. We got to see and understand Toledo without being overwhelmed or over exhausted. I would recommend this tour to any friends/family who would want to check out Spain.

This trip was our favorite exurauon in Spain. The amount if time is perfect. The city is worth the drive, and our driver Leticia was excellent. Our tour guide Arantxa was not only well educated on the city and art history, but was also kind and enjoyable to spend the day with. This half day tour is worth every amount of money!

Did the Toledo trip with Sra. Carmen and she was great. I was with a group of 15 teenagers and she was perfect.

Teniamos muchas ganas de poder disfrutar de visitar Toledo, especialmente después de tener que posponer nuestro viaje por la pandemia. Tomando todas las medidas de seguridad hemos podido disfrutar de la visita privada y ha sido un lujo, aunque evidentemente hay muchos lugares que aún tienen aforos reducidos. La organización ha sido excelente.
