Full description

Toledo is busy by day, but in the evening its streets empty out and the old town takes on a different character. This guided walk explores the hilltop city after dark, winding through narrow alleys, small squares and passageways that most visitors never find.

Along the way your guide tells the legends tied to each corner: tales of lovers and alchemists, of the three cultures that shared the city in the Middle Ages, and of the strange events locals still talk about. It is an easy-paced walk outdoors, with no monument entries, and a relaxed way to end a day in Toledo before dinner.
