Toledo's status in Spain is as noble as that of Rome in Italy. If you stay until the evening and see Toledo under the golden sunset, it is the ultimate beauty. Looking at such weather, there is no possibility of clouds and Yan Chenyu encountering such beautiful scenery.

Standing outside the ancient city, it was easy to arouse Yunluo's curiosity about Toledo's history. In 567 AD, Toledo became the capital of the Visigoths in Spain. During the 300 years of the Visigoth rule, it was not peaceful here, and today's Toledo has few relics.

History is so cruel. The Vision Goths' 300 years were only laid the foundation for this small city. Later, Arabs, Christians and Jews lived together in this city, and the Gothic buildings could only be eroded by wind and rain.

The Alcazar Castle seen here is extremely magnificent. It is so outstanding in this short and dense ancient city. These short and dense ancient city buildings have such a heavy sense of historical saturation, which makes people indulge in it.

Walking down the Hota River from the mountain outside the city, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu entered the ancient city of Toledo again from the Alcontara Bridge. The Alcontara Bridge is also known as the St. Martin Bridge. It was built in the 13th century and two defense towers stand at the bridge, which is in the Gothic style.

The Monastery of San Juan (Naste Odesan Judelosreyes) is a masterpiece of Juan Guas, built by the Catholic king (Losreyescatolicos). This monastery is characterized by its ornate decoration and superb carving art on the corridor.

What is more attractive than the history of the Alcontara Bridge is the fate of the two princesses who walked across the bridge - the daughter of the Visigoth king and the daughter-in-law of the princess who was retrieved from France by the next king.

In order to get the traded city, the first Visigoth king in Spain used her daughter as a tool for marriage and married far away to today's France. The Spanish princess walked out of Toledo's gates with grief, crossed the Alcontara Bridge, crossed the Pyrenees, and never returned here again - she was soon married. She was abused to death by her husband.

The second king still liked to use royal marriage to achieve some political purpose, but he saw the tragedy of the Spanish princess and decided to marry another way - marry a French daughter-in-law in. So the French princess crossed mountains and crossed mountains and entered Toledo from the Alcontara Bridge.

Fortunately, she was lucky compared to the princess in front of her. Not only was she not abused by her husband, she also brought her faith to Spain. 19 years after the Visigoths occupied the Spanish, the Visigoth king was officially baptized and became a Catholic. Three years later, the Spanish court and the Roman Catholic Church merged into one.

From then on, the fate of Spain and the Catholic Church was closely linked. It is undeniable that the level of civilization of a nation and a belief directly determines its survival.

After walking through the most difficult part, we arrived at the Jewish quarter of the ancient city. The terrain was much smoother. The Church of San Juan was built here. Fernando and Isabel built the church to show the supreme and lofty status of the Catholic faith in Spain. The two rulers planned to use it as their tomb, but later they fell in love with Granada.

And a royal chapel was built there. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu did not go in, so they stopped for a while and then continued to wander around the ancient city.

Compared to Carcassonne, Toledo seems more lifelike. On both sides of the uneven stone road are homes or small shops, which are not opened for tourists. They are more for their own lives.

Walking in Toledo, you will find that local residents and tourists are traveling through the curved alleys together. The only difference is that perhaps the residents hold baguettes in their arms while the tourists hold cameras in their hands.

However, this shop has undergone some storms. The sign clearly states "1856" and has been nearly 160 years. It is the same name as the Church of Sao Tome in Toledo. It is a century-old shop selling traditional Toledo pastries - almond cakes. It can be called the "Daoxiang Village" in Toledo. Almond cake is the most famous dessert in the area. It originates from Arabia and exudes a strong almond aroma.

Almond cakes are made according to ancient methods and are still very popular today. There are almond cakes of various shapes in the store, which is one of the best tourist gifts in the local area. The small almond cake looks cute, but it is really hard to say whether it suits your personal appetite or not.

Because Yun Luo later bought a few pieces at this store next to Sukdebell Square. The taste was very sweet and not as good as the beef tongue cakes in Daoxiangcun~ But this snack is really popular among the locals. Each of them had to buy a large box to go, and the queuing scene was comparable to that in Daoxiangcun during the Chinese New Year.

The Cathedral is located in the center of the ancient city and is a landmark of Toledo, which illustrates the status of the Catholic Church in Toledo. From the time of Visigoth reign, it was the center of worship. By the time of Arab rule, it became a central mosque. Now, of course, the identity of the Catholic church has been restored.

The Cathedral is the pinnacle of Gothic art, and the base is taken from the ancient Roman style. Looking at the church building itself, one style overrides the other, and many artists have left their mark on this church: Pedrober Guete, Enriqueges (en-Queegás).

Pedlus Pedri and Juanguas. This explains why the towers on both sides of the church are asymmetric.

There is information opposite the cathedral, you can also get free maps and free bathrooms.

After walking around the ancient city, I returned to Sukdebel Square again, and the rain began to fall again. On the east side of the square is an Arabic-style city wall. Through the Holy Blood Gate, there is a Holy Cross Museum. It mainly displays Spanish ceramic products and oil paintings, and can be entered for free, but Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu did not go, and only saw the statue of Cervantes outside the Holy Blood Gate.

As night fell, like San Gimignano in Italy, most tourists in the small town of Toledo gradually dissipated, leaving a pure Toledo.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu went to the Chinese supermarket at noon to buy the newly-baked baguette. The sky was drizzling. Walking on the wet stone road, the surroundings were quiet dark blue. At that moment, Toledo's history passed through every inch of Yunlu's skin. Yunluo really thought he was a resident of this town.

From Madrid to Toledo, it is recommended to take a bus. Get off the subway L6 Plazaeliptica and exit the station along the instructions of fans of the Nalautobu. After leaving the subway station, pay attention to the purple arrow signs on the pillars on the same floor, which reads Taquillamad D-toledoenelnivel.

Follow the arrow to find the ticket window of Alsa Bus Company. It is recommended to buy one-way, not round trip, as time is limited.

When returning to Madrid from Toledo, you must ask which car to go to Madrid, because electronic displays are generally inaccurate and you cannot judge the direction of the vehicle by looking at the screen.

If you stay in Madrid for a long time, it is recommended to stay in Toledo for one night to fully experience the atmosphere of the town. Large luggage can be stored in a hotel in Madrid, provided that you stay in the hotel when you go back from Toledo.

There is information outside the gate of Toledo Bissagra, and there is also opposite the main entrance of the cathedral. Free maps are provided, and there are free bathrooms in the cathedral.

There is a Chinese restaurant near Sukdebell Square, in the form of a buffet. If you want to eat for many days when you go out, you will be welcome to have a full meal. It is 9.95 euros per person, and the dishes are also rich.

There is a Chinese supermarket next to the path to the right of the Chinese buffet (facing a Chinese restaurant), so you can buy water. It is recommended to have a stick of 0.5 euros per piece, which is baked and sold on the spot, which is very delicious.

McDonald's in Spain, the most common cheesy burger is one euro, which should be the best value for lunch. If you want to save money, you can come to two meals each time, but if you want to vomit, don't ask Yun Luo to settle the score~

Take No. 71 from the bus stop north of Alcazar Castle, you can go out of the city to see the panoramic view of Toledo. Get on the bus and ask the driver if you want to see where the entire Toledo stop is. The driver will tell you in advance. You can not take the bus when you come back, and it is also easy to walk back along the same route.

Today is a day of calm and unlucky luck.

The original plan was to leave Toledo early this morning and go back to Madrid and go directly to Segovia (Toledo does not have a direct public transportation to Segovia, and can only pass through Madrid). A series of accidents made Yan Chenyu and Yunluo’s third-last trip a day of a trip a relatively useless day. Let’s start from the beginning.

I checked out in the morning and went downhill all the way, so I easily followed the same route to the Toledo bus stop. I successfully bought a ticket to return to Madrid at 10 o'clock. I arrived in Madrid at 11 o'clock and arrived in Segovia at 1 o'clock. It was dark at 9 o'clock in the evening. No matter how long I said, it was enough time. But Yan Chenyu and Yan Chenyu were happily enjoying the last sunshine in Toledo.

When Yan Chenyu was having a high chat with his compatriots who came to Toledo to do the project, Yan Chenyu suddenly touched his pocket and said, "As soon as the apple fell into the hotel! This apple is not the other apple! Everyone understands. His brain "buzzed" and quickly ran to Yan Chenyu and said, "Stop talking, the apple fell into the hotel."

Yan Chenyu immediately decided to go back and find him. After changing the ticket for one hour at the ticket window, Yan Chenyu ran back to the hotel. The bus stood at the foot of the mountain, and the hotel was on the top of the mountain! Fortunately, 40 minutes later, Yan Chenyu stood in front of Yun Luo with an apple in panting. There was no loss.

Yan Chenyu is a meticulous child. He checks carefully every time he checks out and never stuffs things under the pillow. This time, somehow, something happened! So I remind everyone not to put things under the pillow. If you get up, you can't see them. If you can't see them, you may forget them.
Chapter completed!
