You step onto an air-conditioned coach in central Madrid before dawn and watch the city thin into folded farmland. The bus hum carries you toward Toledo’s honey-colored ramparts, where narrow streets pull you inward and the cathedral’s spires pierce a pale sky. Later the Roman aqueduct of Segovia looms like a line drawn by engineers who refused to be ordinary, and the Alcázar perches on its crag as if daring the Guadarrama winds.
