Description
The Tagus River cradles the city of Toledo Spain on 3 sides and on this morning I decided to cross the river and view the city from the opposite bank. I crossed at St Martin's Bridge, then followed the road along the river all the way around the city. It was a delightful crisp winter morning, with clear blue skies and long low winter light. The first views of the city along this road show the beautiful countryside and homes perched on the cliffs above the river while later views show the historic core. It isn't hard to see how this was once a strategic location with difficult to scale cliffs along the river. Toledo is the capital of the province of Toledo and the autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive cultural and monumental heritage and historical co-existence of Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures.
