Morning light slices across the Tagus as the coach winds out of Madrid toward the rim of Toledo. From the Mirador del Valle the city lays out like a compact historic map—red tile roofs, the Alcázar’s squared bulk and the river looping around its base—all framed by the dry plains of La Mancha. The group moves over the medieval Puente de San Martín, its stone parapets offering repeated views of water daring you to follow its curve.
