Vincent Poon :: Toledo (8th July 2006)
Toledo is a picturesque, historic city enclosed by old city walls. With the Cathedal at the center, vast network of streets and alleys radiate outwards forming a gigantic maze. It is recommended to explore the city on foot but with temperature of over 40C, it is a miracle you can get out alive! Still, if you have only got one day in Madrid, "waste" it here!
