Visiting Toledo, San Lorenzo del Escorial monastery and Segovia I enjoyed a sort of time travel to the Middle Ages. Churches, synagogues, mosques, convents, walls, bridges, towers are really well preserved in Toledo and there you can visit fantastic places. Get lost in its narrow streets, squares and gardens make your visit to Toledo a wonderful experience.
Segovia is also a really beautiful city, but smaller than Toledo. However, I strongly visiting it because of its impressive aqueduct, its really beautiful alcázar, the gothic cathedral and some lovely romanesque churches.
