You step into a Castilian morning as the minivan peels away from Madrid, the motorway opening onto low, bronze fields where windmills puncture the horizon like white sentries daring the sky. The tour threads the plateau to Consuegra’s ridge for a short climb past hulking blades and a medieval castle, then rolls toward a family-run bodega before settling into Toledo’s steep, stone streets for an intimate guided walk.
