Day 5 - Toledo is a short 30 minutes from Madrid by high speed train. The small train station is very beautiful with impressive tiles covering the floor and walls.
From the station, we walked across bridge and had this wonderful view of the city. Our walk then proceeded uphill for about 1km to Plaza de Zocodover.
We spent much of our visit in the cathedral as there was so much to see. In the treasury, we saw a large structure of about 400 pounds of gold-plated silver loaded with jewels. It is used to carry the Holy Communion wafer. We were amused to see, that very near this priceless object, a small glass gift presented by their sister city, Toledo, Ohio.
