Long description

If you are looking for a different way to get to know Toledo, it is best to do so through its many legends.

Winding alleys, ramparts and dark and lonely alleys that have inspired romantic writers, poets and artists. Charming corners that have given rise to popular legends such as the Virgen de Alfileritos or the Mosque of Cristo de la Luz where history merges with fantasy and are discovered as we enter the convent neighborhood.
