By dawn the coach eases out of Madrid and the Castilian plains unfold like a practiced map: rolling fields, distant church spires, and the Tagus cutting a darker line through the valley. In Toledo your first steps lead onto the 14th‑century San Martín Bridge; the river dares you to pause and take the skyline in—cathedral towers and the Alcázar rising above clustered terracotta roofs.
