Today I took a day trip to Toledo, a nearby historical city with Christian, Jewish, and Muslim roots. Along the way we visited a cathedral (the second largest in Spain), synagogue, and mosque.
We also had the chance to view one of my favorite pieces of art, El Greco's The Burial of the Count of Orgaz.
We stopped for lunch (paella, chicken, and several bottles of wine) at a nearby hotel...
The city is known for its marzipan and turron, and one candy shop had a reproduction of the Museo de Santa Cruz made out of marzipan!
