Advantages: Historic, beautiful scenery, feel good place Disadvantages: None
A visit to Toledo is memorable for so many different reasons. Other visitors' reactions are most likely similar to mine - so much history, beautiful to walk through while experiencing how preservation of religion has affected architecture in this magnificent Spanish National Monument.
One day recently I joined thousands of other tourists to stroll through the narrow, steep, cobbled streets to glimpse just a little taste of how Toldeo has evolved since it was Spain's capital from Gothic days to 1560.
From the minute I sighted the main gate - Peurta de Bisgra, a ninth century creation - I knew this visit was going to be all it was promised to be by a dear friend who had been there six years earlier and advised, quite rightly, that it was a must when visiting Madrid, 71 kilometres away.
The focus of my visit was to be ...

Advantages: Looks really smart and efficient Disadvantages: None that spring to mind
We bought a rangemaster toledo 110 cooker for our new kitchen earlier this year.
We decided on the colour of silver rather than stainless steal as this is easier to clean and wipe.
The double oven is brilliant and practical. One is fan assisted so is really fast the other is just conventional. They are both large and can easily cook Christmas dinner for a family of 14. Both have large windows on the doors which is brilliant for checking on foods. Built in oven lights too.
It also has a separate built in grill. If you need to grill something small you just switch on half the grill - how cool is that?
The built in hob on top is lovely. We have electric so naturally have a ceramic hob. This too is easy to clean. There are 6 halogen rings. Two of which you can half on or full on.
Beware of scratches though on the g;ass hob.
All in all ...
Advantages: Important cultural and historical centre Disadvantages: Can be busy in the tourist season
Toledo is ideally located for a day-trip for anyone taking a short city-break in Madrid. After a day or two in the busy-ness of Madrid city centre it is refreshing to go to somewhere so very different, a walled ancient city set in typical Spanish landscape. But take your camera and more film than you’d expect to have to take for as you round every corner there’ll be something that just demand a photograph!
Toledo, is set on a large rocky mound among rather flat, dry countryside. Its medieval buildings tower up over the surrounding landscape and as you get close to the city you can see that it is a walled town, with fortifications surrounding the many towers and spires of its ancient buildings. Visitors arriving on the train, have a short walk from the station and as you round the first bend in the road, you are ...
