Actually it's older than Mediaeval. Full of history, you can even walk on a Roman archaeological site on a glass floor of a boutique shop! What remarkable is that Christians, Jews and Muslins used to live here peacefully together.

It is so often forgotten the actual treasures to be explored in Spain apart from the beaches and high rises on the coasts.

I agree that Toledo is quite interesting, but to say that Christians, Jews and Muslins used to live there peacefully together is a bit romantic vision. Even if there were more peaceful periods. Also, I am not saying that there was no coexistence, but “Peace”, in the Iberian Peninsula, during the medieval period, was an expensive word.
