We left Madrid again to go on a longer journey around the southern half of the Iberian penninsula. We hoped to be able to hitchhike and Couchsurf as much as possible. Our first stop on our journey was Toledo.
Toledo is very rich with history. It is a beautiful little citadel, with stairways and narrow passageways. Formerly the capital of Spain, there is a lot to see in a very small space. It is interesting to see evidence of the former coexistence of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam in this city. All three religions were practiced at one time or another. Today of course, as in much of southern Europe, it is predominantly Catholic.
We had a great time in Toledo with our young hosts. They took us out
to this strange little bar. A long narrow corridor with little tables
filled with hipsters. They were our first hosts in Spain, and they
turned out to be a lot of fun.
