Day 4 - Toledo

 Today was our first day adventuring outside Madrid. We traveled about 45 minutes south to Toledo. Here we saw the Cathedral of Toledo, the Sinagoga de Santa María La Blanca (a 12th century synagogue that was converted into a church in 1492) and a small chapel with a painting by El Greco (a famous Spanish painter) on the wall.

Then, the kids had the chance to zip line over the Tajo River. They liked this adventure piece. We also visited a sword & jewelry factory. The demonstration on how the swords and jewelry is made was quite interesting. 

We had lunch at a local mall (it was really hot and this was the coolest option available and it was greatly appreciated!). From there we headed back to Madrid to the city center and had a little time to relax and look for last minute souvenirs while in Madrid.

We had dinner at a local restaurant and then came back to the hotel. Tomorrow we leave Madrid and head south to Granada with a stop in Consuegra to see the windmills of Don Quixote. It should be a great day!

We hope you are all staying cool back home. Our temperature here is supposed to cool down, just in time for the beach! 🤣🤣
