Dawn colors the Tagus valley before you even see the city: the balloon inflates at the edge of the plain, ropes creak and the burner hisses, and the basket lifts with a slow, deliberate authority. From the air Toledo reveals itself as an island of stone — ramparts, the cathedral spire, and clustered roofs — while farmland and river meander beneath, pushing the landscape like a storybook page turned by the wind.
