On The Road To Toledo

This is our hotel in Madrid. It's basically a businessman's conference headquarters, with tourists used to fill in the remaining empty rooms. It's clean if a bit 70s-ish in decor (dated.) The primary advantage is that the subway stop is right outside the door. The price is right also.

Today we started with a tour of the Royal Palace in Madrid. Then we took a fast RENFE train to picturesque Toledo, where we visited the highlights of this beautiful old city. It's a photographer's delight.

We're staying at the Toledo "Parador," one of the Paradores that make up the system of official Spanish deluxe hotels. We're looking forward to having a special dinner in a few hours.
