World Heritage City Toledo was once the capital city of Spain, and it still retains the atmosphere and aura which are characteristic of so many European capital cities. Toledo is a magic place, probably one of the most spectacular cities in the world. The buildings and winding streets contained within the old city walls hold hundreds of years of history, and the River Tajo which runs alongside the city walls adds to its charm and beauty.
This photo was taken just 30 minutes before I had to take the train back to Madrid. I would not have had taken this photo if not for the Taxi that we had taken on the way to the railway station. It so happened that the taxi driver could speak English and he asked if I had been to the top of the hill that overlooks the city and I replied that I had not. He asked if I wanted to go, and I said that I had to catch the train soon. He said it was only a 5 minute drive up to the hill and if I had missed the train then he would personally drive me all the way to Madrid for free. I took up the offer and I did not regret my decision. It was the most beautiful view I had seen. I took a few quick shots and managed to catch the train on time. – Andrew
