Toledo is one of
the most important centers of european medieval history. The first one to
report about it was Roman author Titus Livius, who describes it as a "small
fortificated town", and fortification has always been an important
parameter in its history, still evident to today's tourist for the
monumental walls around, and the "Swords of Toledo" gave to its steel-production
world-wide fame. It was capital of Spain from the Gothic epoch until 1560,
fact that explains its really impressive medieval architecture. Walking
through its streets one feels like having stepped back into the Middle-Ages,
but in the best sense of it, and perhaps you will search your pockets for
a few gold-ducats to buy some of Toledo's fine artisany or just to enjoy
of its highly recommandable cuisine.
