Toledo is filled with fabulous cathedrals and churches and monasteries and the art of El Greco and Goya and other great artists is everywhere. I know I only saw a portion of what was there. But in addition to that, there is a very lively trade in swords, Lladro figurines, marzipan treats, inlaid silver and gold jewelry and more. Lots and lots of touristy shops. I even found displays featuring the Lord of the Rings. I don't think Toledo had anything to do with that, but they make a lot of cool swords and the folks in Middle Earth liked swords too. I also was amused by a display for marzipan sweets made by nuns, demonstrated by some dolls.
And for the more adventurous, there is now a zip line over the river. I didn't have time to do that unfortunately! Actually, I did enough zip lines in Costa Rica to last me a lifetime.
