Toledo

For spring break I went to Spain with my dad. We had to fly to Frankfurt,Germany and then fly to Madrid. From there I took a train to Toledo where we stayed at Hotel St. Isabell. I had a tour guide named . he showed us these churches that turned to museums and taught us the history of Spain. He told me that Toledo used to be the capital of Spain in the 1500s. We were right next to the beautiful cathedral which houses the Spanish cardinal[ like an arch-bishop]. I went to the top of the cathedral where the bells were. We saw the alcazar of Toledo[ military museum] which used to be a castle. My favorite part was getting a hand made sword. I got a katana. Toledo is the place where the people in Madrid go for the weekend so it was pretty crowded. At the end we took a train back to Madrid and took another to Segovia which was the second of the 3 cites I was got to visit.

Here is a web link to the place my dad and I got our swords.
