Left the bustling city life in Madrid today to "chase windmills" with Don Quixote in the province of Castille La Mancha. Toledo is a medieval walled city in which Jews, Catholics, and Muslims lived peacefully together for the 400 years after the reclamation of Spain in the 1600's. Visited the world famous painting, "Burial of the Count of Garza" by el Greco. We are enjoying al fresco lunches in quaint tapas cafes. This afternoon our comfortable coach took us through miles of olive groves into Andelucia for tonight's stay in Cordoba.
Today's pix: Holy Toledo; Marge and Lainey with Cervantes (author of "Don Quixoti"); windmills of la Mancha
