We woke up at 6am to this:
Apparently it only snows about once a year in Toledo, if that. We were really lucky to stumble upon snow on this trip. Bob and I woke up at 6 am not for any reason but the fact that we couldn’t sleep anymore. It was nice to be up before it was light out and catch some photos of the snow during the night. Snow makes everything magical. Snow also makes everything a bit harder to get around. We tried to take a cab up to this beautiful view of the town of Toledo, only to find midway up that we were unable to make it because of traffic.
Bob snapped this photo of me… I really like it.
This is the street right behind our hotel, CASONA DE LA REYNA, which for under 50 EUR a night it’s a steal!
Snowman!
This was taken in the cathedral, where I guess you aren’t supposed to take photos? whoops?
Bob and I stumbled upon this really cool antique bookstore right across from the Cathedral in Toledo. I am starting to gain a fascination with used book stores. It all started on my trip to DC 2 months ago when I bought 6 books for under $20. This store I spent 20 EUR on one book, but it was worth it. (Someone is getting a book for christmas!)
Here you go KP, this one is for you.
2 naps later, we made it to the other side. Sunset instead of sunrise this time.
Toledo is known for it’s ham. We happened upon this small ham shop in the center of town. I love how they display their ham in the open air, it gives Spain a natural, earthy feel.
The first time I ever saw snow was in Madrid in high school. It flurried one day and it was pure magic. I’m so excited you’re getting to see it! And in full force!

I would hang that first picture (of the cafe) on my wall!!! What awesome pictures. And I like the one of you in the snow, as well ; )

We are so glad you got to experience “la nieve en España” glad it isn’t “la lluvia” (the rain in Spain). Love your photos.

I can’t believe it snows in Toledo. The pics are awesome. My wife and I love it there. Have some Jamon Serrano and enjoy.
