We had such an amazing time on our olive oil tasting tour just outside of Seville! 🌿🫒 It was not only delicious but incredibly informative. We learned all about the different types of olive oil, the detailed production process, and—surprisingly—that the colour of olive oil has nothing to do with its quality (who knew?!). One of the highlights was meeting the farm owner, Juan Antonio. He was such a kind and passionate man, incredibly proud of his farm, and made us feel so welcome. Our guide was also fantastic—super knowledgeable and warm, which made the entire experience even better. If you’re in the area, this tour is 100% worth it. Fun, authentic, and full of flavor! 🍽️🌿✨
Dave E — Google review
We had such an incredible experience visiting during the October harvest. We got to see the entire olive oil process from picking the olives, the machinery, and the end results were truly incredible! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, helpful, and enthusiastic, making the tour not only informative, but also fun and tasty!!!! Trying the different olive oils was fun, and we had to bring some back home. To top it off, Juan, the owner, drove us through the groves and told us some of his life story and the story of his olive oil company. He’s such an incredibly empathetic and knowledgeable person, and we instantly became huge fans. Thank you Juan and everyone else for making our visit such a special day for us, and a top highlight of our year!
Wyatt C — Google review
We dropped in on our way to Sevilla and had the most wonderful welcome from Don Juan Antonio and the rest of the family. Fantastic to hear about the 300 years of history that the family has run the farm and wonderful to taste the delicious olive oils, we’re taking a great selection back to Australia with us. Gracias!
Clare D — Google review
What an amazing tour and time! We were able to experience a tour with Jose himself, the owner, then learned the history of olive oil, followed by the best olive oil tasting I’ve ever had! An excellent combination of education and deliciousness. We left with multiple bottles and recipe ideas. This is an experience we will never forget! Definitely go here!
Kelsey S — Google review
Unforgettable incredible experience. This was hands down the highlight of our three week trip to Spain. Every detail felt personal; every detail was informative. Amazing to witness this beautiful family’s life passion.
Meghan J — Google review
We took a tour here as one of the planned activities on our Spanish tour. The local guide was very informative and gave us eye opening insight into what high quality olive oil should smell and taste like. I think most of our group was surprised by the information provided. We were able to see what the olive oil process is like and sample the oil produced by the farm. It’s strikingly different than what is typically available in the States.
Kathleen Y — Google review
In all my travels (extensive) this tour, explaining the olive growing and oil extraction process, is the BEST tha I have experienced. Owner Isaac made learning so much fun. This is a world award winning olive oil mill. Do not miss the opportunity to visit

Teatro Romano de Medellín

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
A hidden jewel of Roman architecture within rural Spain, relatively recently unearthed, rather small, when compared to the one in Mérida, and not in the best condition, still used as an actual theatre. The church and museum within the theatre complex deserve especial mention, on account of the aesthetic pleasure it means, plus the valuable learning experience, about this amazing place's history, as a theatre due Ng the Roman empire, and a medieval neighbourhood later on. Easy parking near it.
José S — Google review
Average experience. 3 euros to enter the small museum and the Roman amphitheater. But overall worth a short visit to see more of the history of the area. My review can be read in full on my travel blog, Two Passports Packed.

The Cáceres Museum, located in the city's historic center, offers a fascinating journey through Spanish history and culture. Housed in 16th-17th century buildings, it showcases archaeological finds and cultural displays. Visitors can explore the Casa Mudejar, Casa del Solis mansion with its Renaissance patio, and the Palacio de las Veletas with a well-preserved water cistern.
Really nice museum with friendly, helpful staff. Interesting archeological pieces and even artworks from Miro. Entrance is free for EU citizens. The old arabic cistern at the basement is nice and a must-see (in case you aren’t claustrophobic though 😄)

Joke from Google - absolutely CLOSED. No way will it open for months. See my photo. Cement delivery in progress. Good thing was the cafe next door after all the steps.
Richard L — Google review
The museum is open and worth a visit for the archaeological parts mainly period. But you are not the most interesting part, the Arab. Aljibe or cistern is closed and supposedly for two years. That’s a very good reason to postpone your visit to Caceres after it reopens.
Caspar D — Google review
Great bronze age pieces. Amazing museum for a smaller city. The 6,000 year old carved idol. The Roman and Visigothic pieces.
Marcus J — Google review
Worth a visit, even if only to see the Arab cistern. Interesting archeological artefacts found in the local area a on display. Free entry if you're a citizen of the EU member state, if not it's still only 1.5€ for admission.

Some great paintings upstairs too!
Michael M — Google review
What a great museum covering a great deal of local and Spanish history. Starting in about 3000bc, you make your way through artefacts from different eras in Caceres and wider Spain (through Roman, Visigoth and Moor times, to 20th century). The building is also a great part of the exhibit, including an cistern under the building. The fine are section has works from Picasso and Miro which is very impressive for the €1,20 entrance fee (or free for citizens of the EU!) Detailed information is in Spanish but more concise in English.

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Walking Areas
The Old Town of Cáceres is a medieval area with well-preserved walls and a fascinating mix of architectural styles including Roman, Moorish, Gothic, and Renaissance buildings. The modern city lies below while the historic center sits on a promontory surrounded by medieval walls and watchtowers. Strolling through its narrow streets feels like wandering through a labyrinth of history. This area was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO in 1986 due to its unique blend of architectural influences.
So beautiful and well maintained. I always expected a knight on a horse to come around the corner. It's a little bit annoying during the winter that some attractions are closed from 2 to 5 pm when the sun is shining and it's a bit warm but open in the evening when it's cold.
CNX E — Google review
Full of many magnificent buildings few of which can entered and few of which seem occupied by families. The city is a museum piece and while one can marvel at the energy and commitment involved in its construction it does seem soulless. No bars or shops that we found in that part of the city we explored. It was worth visiting but my preference is for the small towns which are alive and atmospheric. Try Alcantara for example and appreciate the contrast.
Duncan P — Google review
That Town is in my opinion very underrated, because it's so, so beautiful! I reccomend to visit if you're travelling through Spain, it's definitely worth it. The Old Town is just breath taking, and seeing this at night time gives you an opportunity to feel the place, its spirit.

Ancient Ruins
Trujillo Alcazaba, also known as Trujillo Castle, is a medieval Moorish stone fortress with 8 towers and a horseshoe arch. Situated at the top of a granite hill in the city, it was built between the 9th and 12th centuries over an Arab citadel. The castle offers panoramic views of dusty plains dotted with smaller castle ruins and ancient walls. It has gained popularity as one of the filming locations for Game of Thrones.
Trujillo is an amazing place to visit. You are surrounded by history . You actually feel.like you are in a movie set in some historical movie . The atmosphere is something else . Trujillo has great restaurants , cafes and bars. . Everyone is very helpful and great fun the Spanish have a wonderful way of always being fun loving and engaging If you need help they are more than happy to help . Trujillo is full of history the Plaza Mayor is stunning you need to give yourself time as I'm the summer it gets VERY hot so my advice is do what the Spanish go out when they do before it gets too hot,to eat at the time they eat their main meal from 2 o'clock rest after a long lunch and go out in the evening to walk around at a leisurely phase no rushing about Trujillo is to enjoy and observe .
Zeta K — Google review
Very well maintained old castle. Not a lot to see inside the castle itself, but you do get to walk along the ramparts and a little in the sewers below. Not bad for 2€. This is the castle from Game of Thrones Season 7 used for Castelry Rock.

Fantastic stay in Trujillo , the architecture is truly amazing topping with a fantastic Castle.
Dave F — Google review
The Alcazaba de Trujillo is perched up on a hill. This fortified military camp was built in the 13th century mainly for defensive purposes, which is why there are no residential rooms. From what I could see from the outside is somewhat preserved. While it is on the outskirts of the old town, I do recommend going there. Unfortunately the day I went, I waited for an hour for it to open after the lunch break and it never did.
Nanita — Google review
This should be the peak of my trip to Trujillo and I kept it for last. Unfortunately, the opening times are once more wrong online. The local ourist management is sloppy enough to ruin a visit to this town. Certainly not worthy of a town that expires world Heritage status.

Nature & Parks
Nature preserve
Parque Nacional de Monfragüe is a breathtaking biosphere reserve with stunning cliffs, rock faces, and abundant wildlife. The main attraction is the vultures, especially at Salto del Gitano near the castle where you can use binoculars to see chicks in nests. Additionally, there are walking trails and a visitor's center at Villareal de Carlos for more information. However, parking can be limited during peak times.
We came there to see and photograph the landscape and wildlife. A splendid day, black vulture, griffon vulture, Egyptian vulture, eagle, blue magpie, deer, etc. quite near by, gorges, river and brooks, ruïnes, rocks and forests, a paradise for nature lovers!
Jan D — Google review
I haven't got the statistics but I believe that Monfragüe National Park must be Spain's most visited National Park by foreign birders. It's a paradise for raptors, with Black, Griffon and Egyptian Vultures, Spanish Imperial Eagles, Golden, Booted, Short-toed and Bonelli's Eagles, as well as Black Stork, Eagle Owl, Iberian Magpie, Spanish Sparrow, Blue Rock Thrush, Rock Bunting, Hawfinch, and a whole lot more. My first visit here was with the UEA bird club back in 1985, and it hasn't really changed much in essence since then. These days I visit the park once or twice a year, usually leading birding tours for our own company, Birding In Spain, or for a British or American bird tour operator. There are more parking spaces at the Salto del Gitano, but it also gets a lot busier than it used to. The views from the Castillo are as impressive as they always were, and you can see still Eagle Owls at La Portilla, with a bit of luck. Then, just immerse yoourself in the beauty of the surrounding cork oak dehesa to really enrich the experience. Monfragüe National Park? AN absolute must-see for any visiting birder!

Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
The Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe is a major Roman Catholic monastery with its main church ordered by Alfonso XI in the 14th century. Located in Caceres, it's a favorite spot for birdwatchers due to its natural resources like the Monfrague National Park and Jerte Valley. The monastery, dating back to the 15th century, houses a carving of the Virgin Mary believed to be done by St. Luke.
Absolutely amazing place!!! It has a beautiful architecture and contains an amazing collection of artwork from the most famous European masters. You need to have a guided visit, otherwise you'll miss 90% of the experience. By guided I mean to hire a professional guide, The person that will accompany you during the visit is not a guide but a guard to make sure you don't nick anything.
Jimmy B — Google review
I really enjoyed the visit to the monastery. It is only possible to visit the building with a guided group tour, unfortunately only in Spanish. Even though I have a high level of Spanish, I could not follow everything. So you should be aware of this! The tour was very interesting and the virgen de Guadalupe was worth to see. You are not allowed to make pictures inside, I am not sure about it, but I can respect that. They only take cash. In total I recommend visiting this monastery.
Vincent W — Google review
I absolutely loved visiting the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe. This UNESCO World Heritage site has a rich history, founded in the 14th century and closely tied to Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus. The architecture is stunning, blending Gothic, Mudéjar, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical styles all in one place. The visit is only possible with a guided tour (you need to book a time) – you cannot just wander inside on your own. No photos are allowed inside, which helps preserve the sacred and historic atmosphere. Unfortunately, some visitors were very disrespectful, trying to sneak photos and even arguing with the guide and the Franciscan friar. I felt bad for them, as they were simply doing their job and protecting this incredible monument. Despite that, the tour was wonderful, informative, and well worth it. A truly special place that I highly recommend visiting with respect and an open heart.
Maria F — Google review
You cannot take pictures here, except one in the museum. I have not seen so much well preserved history. In the Church you can take pictures. For Catholics, there is a Eucharistic miracle located in the chapel of the relics. Also, you must go with a tour group that is guided, so you might want to check on times they go to the museum, so your wait is not long. We had to wait 30 minutes for our tour.
Bruce M — Google review
We arrived just in time for the €7 guided tour. So worth it. The building is amazing, but the contents in each section are unbelievable,especially the library. The guide was very pleasant and answered our questions in English, though the tour information is only in Spanish.
Jo D — Google review
The site is very original and historic. Tour is with a guide only. No English, only Spanish. It was very disappointing how quickly he hustled us through the rooms. We particularly wanted to see the embroideries and I doubt we got 4 minutes in that room. I would suggest to whoever is operating things that they raise their entry fee and hire more attendants. They seemed overwhelmed and frazzled. Same in the gift shop.
Claire R — Google review
Horrible experience. The visit only happens in groups, you have to follow your group, no slower or faster. A rude man who is responsible for the group opens a door, you see a room for 10 minutes, leaves, and go to the next room. No pictures allowed, for some reason. It's located far from all major cities in Extremadura, absolutely not worth the drive.

Monasterio de San Jerónimo de Yuste

Mentioned on 
+4 other lists 
Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Monasterio de San Jerónimo de Yuste is a restored monastery, church, and gardens that dates back to the early 1400s. It was used as an emperor's retreat and is known for being the place where Charles spent his last days until he died of malaria. The monastery offers a glimpse into history with its well-preserved interiors, including the emperor's room and a beautiful chapel.
The Monastery of Yuste is known worldwide for being the last resting place of Emperor Charles V and is currently the venue for the European Charles V Award ceremony. It is a beautiful venue full of history. The entrance is €7, but Wednesday and Sunday are free after 3 PM. There are antique furniture, paintings, and statues given to the emperor. There is also one of his swords and a coffin replica which many believe was buried in a similar coffin. I recommend you to go because it is in the middle of nature, and you will also enjoy the road to get there.

Excellent. Worth reading up on the emperor Charles v because he was so involved in English history and the lives of the Tudors. He died here and his austere little palace is well preserved. The monastery is very peaceful even when it’s busy.

Absolutely fantastic! Get a guided tour!!! You can buy tickets on the internet just to enter the place or pay a little bit extra and get an official guide to explain everything. All in the internet but guided tours are offered only at certain times. You need a guide or will miss 90% of the experience. In our tour there were only 4 people. There is too much history in this place.

The monastery has a fascination with a huge historic fingerprint. Its a somehow remoted spot in this world with a calm appearance and wonderful view. The retired emperor choosed a spot to stay away and it is. The monastery is well prepared to give history and a understanding of Europe in some epochs. A time where Europeans were more united than devided. Ok thats because of Royal marriage Policy and less by consent from the people.

Beautiful historical monastery where Charles I spent his last days until he died of malaria. Gorgeous place to take photos, very neat to be able to visit the emperor’s room and the chairs he sat on and was carried in when he was sick, a pretty chapel and so cheap to get into compared to historical buildings in the US (Under 8 Euros for adults and half price for kids up to 16, seniors, and a bunch of other discounted groups). The audio guide is recommended, it’s well done. The grounds are spacious and really impressive, all sorts of paths to walk around and off the beaten path from the usual tourist routes.
Marta T — Google review
This monastery is by far the most beautiful, the most impossant one i have ever visited. The price is 7 euro each person. Really good that they check your stuff and safety. The three big trees oitside are jewels. The rooms inside too. What the most beautiful thing is, is the stair and wall, with all the growing and hanging treebranches that are climbing/growing to the wall.

Garganta de los Infiernos, located in the Jerte Valley, is a nature reserve renowned for its stunning waterfalls and natural pools. The area known as Los Pilones offers picturesque potholes and inviting swimming spots. Visitors can embark on various routes, including a long but rewarding trek through lush surroundings. The excursion begins at the interpretation center with ample parking available. Along the way, hikers can enjoy picnic areas and capture beautiful photos of the scenic landscape.
Absolutely worth the hike. The water is so clear, the rocks are smooth to climb through and there was even a small little sand beach to relax in the sun and picnic

(Translated by Google) Circular route of about 6km going along a path and returning along a track. It can also be done the other way around or round trip through the same place. There are 3 parking spaces, two paid by the town hall for €5 and a private one that is closer to the start of the route for €3. All with hardly any shade. Several trash cans and free toilets next to the Interpretation Center. (Original) Ruta circular de unos 6km yendo por sendero y volviendo por pista. También se puede hacer al revés o ida y vuelta por el mismo sitio. Hay 3 parking, dos de pago del ayuntamiento 5€ y uno privado que está más próximo al inicio de la ruta 3€. Todos sin apenas sombra.

Bev M — Google review
The castle and adjoining hotel and palace are fantastic. The grounds are beautifully maintained with lots of manicured ares to sit and admire the scenery in the shade. The entrance to the castle is inside the Palace grounds. There is parking both inside and outside the walls. The website showed it was closed on Monday but it was open and only cost 4eu. Well worth the price of admission. There are alot of stairs with no permanent railings so if you are unsure of climbing it may be best to pass on going up. Castle is in very nice condition and has information plaques on just about everything. Highly recommend this location. Younger man at the ticket area was very knowledgeable and friendly. Spoke English as well. Small little gift shop at entrance that helps pay for the staff and buildings. If possible take a walk around the outside of the buildings for some great views.

Bad rating!!! After I climbed the first steps I was throw away because there were no sign for climbing on stone. The employers don t speak english, not even a word, they just grab you and throw you like a junk outside after you pay the price for visit. I am a tourist and they don t speak or show any rule in english. At least they can warn you about what youre not allowed to do, but they only want the money.

It was built on a Vettonian hill fort, constructed in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries.

Barrancas de Castrejón y Calaña

Nature preserve
Outdoor Activities
Gorges & ravines characterize this natural reserve, which offers hiking & striking views.
This place is an absolute must see, I would recommend you to spend an afternoon here if you are close to Toledo. We went here in December on a foggy afternoon and as the weather cleared out and the sun started to lighten the mountains, it really took our breath. We only see 4 people here through our 2-3 hour walk so it is not congested to say the least. We parked our car at the place which is marked on Google maps as 'Aparcamiento Barrancas De Burujón' and walked up to 'Mirador del Cambrón' which took about 15 minutes. (You probably could directly come to this point with your car if there are only a few people there. I have added a picture about the road which leads you here.) There are 3 or 4 viewing spots with barriers where you can go the edges and take nice pictures. These viewing spots are about 5-10 minutes walking distance from each other and you can see the next one from the previous one. Between the viewing spots there are no barriers on the edges of the cliffs so this could be very dangerous with children who run around unadvised, so keep your children, dog etc close to you and follow the marked road. There is a picnic possibility with tables at the last viewing spot. There is no shadow and no trees to hide from the sunshine throughout this journey which could be a problem in the summer. Some trees have already been planted but it will take years till they become big enough. Visiting in the afternoon is recommended because the sunshine will lighten the cliffs from the right angle according to other guides. Favourite moment: The whole place was undisturbed by any human activity and you could here the birds from miles away but we also heard a cowbell which we could not understand. Later we saw the source of the sound which was a goat on one of the distant cliffs eating grass. God knows how it got there. :) (I've added a picture of it if you want to check it out.)

We tried to catch a full red/orange forest but looks like we just missed it. Still, we come almost every year to hike and it’s always so beautiful. It’s like the little forest from a fairytale ☺️ Weekends they charge for entry, 6€ for a car and 2€pp. They also have nice seating in the front for a little picnic!
Nadia — Google review
Beautiful forest mainly composed by chestnut tree. Autumn is the most beautiful season, I really recommend to go in this season but, if possible, in week days, due to the fact that it is really crowded on weekends. Positive things: Astonishing nature in autumn, leaves looks like gold with their golden colour. There's also a parking for cars. Negative things: Really crowded in peak season and you have to pay.
Teresa S — Google review
After an uncomfortable 20 minutes dust road drive to the parking you get out of the he car in the midest of lush forest. You instantly feel the fresh cold air as the trees leaves block most of the sun light. The routes are easy, confortable even for kids. On weekends, there is a guide welcoming visitors to give them indications on the nature they will see and participate to take care of by not dumping trash, not collecting chestnuts and following the stablished paths. The forest is hence well preserved even though it has lots of visitors. In El Tiemblo, before reaching the dusty road there is an information post where you are stopped by forest rangers. If you want to get there with your car you have to pay 6€ for the car plus 2€ per passenger. They'll provide indications and a map.

The monastery Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes is a 15th-century Franciscan church built in the style of Elizabethan Gothic in honor of Prince John during the reign of Isabella and Ferdinand II of Aragon. It features ornate two-tiered cloisters, now run by Franciscans.
The monastery was our favourite sights to visit in Toledo. We visited on a Monday afternoon and had no wait time to enter. The price is very reasonable considering you get access to most of the premises including the courtyard and church. There are no available bathrooms, however there are free public bathrooms in the plaza around the corner. There is plenty of seating to sit back, relax and enjoy the peaceful scenery. A must visit in Toledo!

The Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes in Toledo is stunning! I wasn’t able to go inside unfortunately, but the exterior is breathtaking. I loved the unique Gothic details and the chains hanging from the walls. It makes for a great photo stop. It’s very affordable, only a few Euros to enter. I wish I had more time! The entire surrounding Jewish Quarter is full of charm, with narrow streets and a peaceful plaza perfect for wandering and taking photos. Great place to walk through when in Toledo!

Absolutely gorgeous monastery! I especially loved the small garden in the courtyard. The attached cathedral is also huge and impressive....especially considering that Toledo isn't particularly big.

Nestled in the heart of Toledo, the Iglesia de Santo Tomé is a stunning 14th-century Catholic church that beautifully showcases a blend of architectural styles, including Gothic, Baroque, and Moorish influences. This remarkable structure features an impressive Mudejar tower built from remnants of an ancient mosque's minaret. Visitors are often drawn to its interior for its striking design elements and two ornate Baroque altars.
The Iglesia de Santo Tomé in Toledo Spain is a tiny church home to the incredible El Greco masterpiece, The Burial of the Count of Orgaz. The painting alone makes it worth the visit! Be prepared to move very slowly in a line through a tight space with lots of people. They crowd is guided forward every few minutes. Tickets are required at the entrance, not expensive. This is a quick but memorable stop! Pictures and videos are allowed. Greco has become one of my top ten favorite artists after visiting Spain!

Mirador del Valle in Toledo is absolutely breathtaking. Perched across the Tagus River, it offers a panoramic view of the historic city that feels almost surreal, golden stone buildings, cathedral spires, and ancient walls glowing in the sunlight or sparkling in the evening lights. The view alone is worth the trip to Toledo. I visited with my best friend, and it was one of the most memorable moments of our time in Spain. Standing there together, overlooking the old city, we felt the quiet beauty and deep history radiating from every corner. It’s a perfect spot for reflection, conversation, and capturing unforgettable photos. There’s a peacefulness at Mirador del Valle that allows you to pause and take it all in: the past, the present, and the joy of shared experiences. The site is accessible by car, or a scenic walk if you’re up for it. I highly recommend timing your visit around sunset for the most magical lighting. Whether you’re traveling solo or with someone close, this viewpoint is a must-see. It’s not just about the view, but the feeling you get while looking at it. For us, it was pure wonder -- an unforgettable highlight of our trip.

Toledo, Spain, an ancient city known for its historical, cultural, and architectural significance. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Parking available, so you don't have to walk. Popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Great place for photography. Level terrain. Free entry. Good wheelchair access.

The Mirador del Valle in Toledo, Spain, offers a breathtaking panoramic view that is nothing short of awe-inspiring. During our family visit in January 2024, we were captivated by the stunning vistas of the historic city, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The viewpoint, easily accessible, served as an ideal starting point for our walk around Toledo. The history of the city was palpable, with its blend of Christian, Islamic, and Jewish influences evident in the architecture. We took numerous photos, each one capturing the unique charm of the city from different angles. The Mirador del Valle not only provided a scenic backdrop but also served as a gateway to immerse ourselves in Toledo's rich cultural heritage. Our experience was made all the more enjoyable by the well-maintained facilities and the friendly locals. The visit was a highlight of our trip, offering a profound appreciation for the historical significance and natural beauty of Toledo. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the Mirador del Valle for anyone seeking a memorable and enriching experience.

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Catedral Primada de Toledo is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the historic city of Toledo, Spain. The cathedral is an architectural marvel, incorporating Mudejar features and modeled after Bourges Cathedral. Perched on a hill surrounded by the River Tagus, Toledo is a city with a rich history as the seat of the Court of Charles and the ancient Visigothic capital.
If you're visiting Toledo, you absolutely must visit the Toledo Cathedral. This magnificent Gothic cathedral is a culmination of history and art, and its scale and beauty are overwhelming. The admission fee is typically around 10 euros per adult, but it is well worth the cost. Inside, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking sparkle of stained glass, intricate carvings, and a grand pipe organ. Particularly striking are the detailed retablo of the main altar and the carvings of the choir stalls. You can feel the craftsmanship and passion of the artisans embedded in every single decoration. Furthermore, the treasury houses numerous valuable artworks, including works by El Greco, which are worth taking your time to admire. Climbing the cathedral's bell tower offers a panoramic view of the labyrinthine streets of the Old Town and the stunning vista of the Alcázar in the distance. It is truly a symbol of the UNESCO World Heritage city of Toledo and a place where you can deeply feel the history of Three Cultures.

This Cathedral is a must when visiting Toledo. Do not let the outside deter you. It is magnificent inside. The architecture, the art, the grandness is astounding. Do not miss the Chapter House, the Sacristy and the crypt under the Altar. Definitely recommending purchasing timed tickets on line to skip the ticket queue. The visit is worth every euro spent.

This beautiful cathedral with its extraordinary interior has a unique atmosphere of high spirituality. The two main altars are extraordinary. The entire interior is a space of spirituality and time enclosed in unique architectural sculptures and compositions, as well as sculptural and painting works. The beauty here is very rich and justified. This space is definitely worth seeing.
Wawrzyniec R — Google review
Amazingly beautiful. It's quite large and multifaceted. There is no written guide available, including none for purchase. Once you buy the ticket to go inside, your only option is to use a lot of data to download their app. The app is useful as it gives English and other language information on various parts of the cathedral but other parts of it have no explanation.

This building is a beautiful structure, which took over 200 years to complete. It is the highlight of any tour to Toledo. The interior is astonishing with incredible architecture and amazing sculptures. The organs require the sanctuary of the chapels. All of these are elaborate, beautiful and richly decorated. There is a golden and silver shrine in the shape of a church spire holding the holy host, which is just amazing in its beauty and intricacy. The hole that was made in one of the domes to illuminate the back of the altar, enabling light into the chamber, where the host is prepared is mind-boggling. There is an entry fee, but it’s worth the price of admission as this is one of the top five cathedrals in the Christian world.

The Toledo Cathedral is one of the most stunning places I’ve ever visited. The architecture, paintings, and stained glass are incredible—every detail feels full of history and art. I especially loved the main altar and the peaceful atmosphere inside. The audio guide made it easy to explore at my own pace and learn interesting facts. A truly unforgettable experience in Toledo!

This is a must see if you go to Toledo. The Cathedral is astounding and magnificent. You have to buy a ticket in front the entrance, in a little shop. It's I'll made, as you present yourself to the first counter, just to be told, a little curtly, that the tickets are sold at the second counter. The first one being for buying trinkets. Plus the entrance is not the obvious one, the big steps that are first seen when you arrive on the plaza. It is on the right side of the Cathedral, and we learn this by walking all around the immense building. Take into account that you will need a good hour or more to really see all the nooks and cranies of the Cathedral, with all its beautiful art. Paintings, sculptures, bas-reliefs, gilded work, icons, stained glass, stonework, enluminures, etc... There are benches inside were you can pause, for people who need to rest.
Myamoto M — Google review
This cathedral was the highlight of our visit in Toledo. The classic entrance price is 12€ which is well worth it as I spent 45min inside. The stained glasses windows were beautiful, there are some very impressive statues. There were many people but the place is huge so it is not an issue.

Puerta del Sol

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Puerta del Sol is a medieval gate in Toledo's old town, dating back to the 14th century. It features an arched entryway and offers picturesque city views from the walking path next to it. The gate is adorned with a medallion depicting the city's patron saint and images of the sun and moon added in the 16th century, giving it its name.
The Puerta del Sol (Gate of the Sun) is a historic city gate in Toledo, Spain, built in the late 14th century by the Knights Hospitaller. Here are some interesting facts about it: Its name comes from the sun and moon that were once painted on either side of a medallion above the arch.The medallion still remains and depicts the ordination of Saint Ildephonsus, the patron saint of Toledo. The gate was built during the Christian reconquest of Spain from the Moors and was one of the main entrances to the walled city. While the gate itself is no longer there, the entrance remains an interesting piece of Toledo's history.

History Museums
The Army Museum, located in Toledo, Spain, is a national institution that offers a comprehensive insight into the history of the Spanish military. Housed within the impressive Alcazar castle, this museum showcases an extensive collection of armor, weapons, paintings, and other historical exhibits. Visitors can explore the museum's displays spanning from the Roman Empire to modern times. While currently undergoing renovations with limited access, it remains an intriguing destination for those interested in Spanish and military history.
We visited the Army Museum and Alcazar on the advice of a blog about a day trip to Toledo. We took the first Friday morning train in mid-March so we had time to get breakfast and walk up through the town before the museum opened right at 10. Because of minor renovations, part of the museum was closed and all entrances were free. We started at the foundations then went outside to see the tanks. Inside were exhibits about Spanish military from near-prehistoric times through reconquista, colonization, and modernity. Some great armor and artwork. The best part, of course, was the Alcazar itself. You have to walk outside, within the walls of the site, to go up an incline (it's Toledo) into the old royal fortress. See a lovely courtyard and great views.

It was a shame that when I visited in August the military Museum was closed, but at least the entry fee was reduced. The ancient part of the Museum is interesting and I enjoyed going through the evolution of this fort. Hopefully, the Museum will be fully operative soon.
Francesco M — Google review
A lovely new museum of military history. Don’t expect to see much of the historic building. They preserved a few pieces of the old fortress but not enough to make it worth visiting for that. The map is good, make sure you follow it. If you happen to wander off of the prescribed path it can be very difficult to get back into the exhibition. There are many interesting items on display and they are well organized. They are all displayed in white display boxes with a small sign in the corner. You must follow the path through the white boxes as you cannot see anything other than what is directly in front of you and the back side of other while boxes. All indications that you are in a historic building are hidden There is one open area where the ancient foundations are visible which leads to the patio and garden where some larger items are displayed If you are a weapons buff or Spanish military supporter this is for you

The Army Museum in Toledo is a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in military heritage. Located within the historic Alcázar of Toledo, the museum offers an impressive collection of artifacts and exhibits that span centuries of military history. The displays are well-organized and informative, covering various aspects of Spain's military past, from ancient times to modern conflicts. I particularly enjoyed the sections dedicated to 18 century. The museum's setting in the Alcázar adds to the experience, providing stunning views of Toledo and its surroundings. The building itself is a piece of history, adding an extra layer of depth to the visit. Overall, the Army Museum is a well-curated and educational experience that offers valuable insights into Spain's military history. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Toledo!

Free on Wednesdays, when we visited. Pristine and interesting exhibits but the museum seemed disjointed to us. We had a difficult time following the themed paths. We wish it had been chronologically organized so a better view of Toledo’s history could be understood. It was difficult to follow and we missed understanding more about the Spanish Inquisition and the Franco regime. But cannot complain as it was free. Bathrooms abound and a lovely terrace to look over the city. Lockers available.

Definitely worth the ticket price. This place is packed full of history which was a real treat. The whole family really enjoyed this place. It took us 3 hours to walk the whole place and check out all the beautiful things. The Staff here were pretty awesome and full of knowledge. We basically got a private tour just by asking questions as they were very forthcoming with information and behind the scenes knowledge. Overall if your looking for a great place to explore pick here

Samurai in Toledo: The Army Museum’s Identity Crisis Museo del Ejército, Toledo The Army Museum in Toledo begins not with banners waving or cannons booming, but with stone. You descend into the Alcázar’s underbelly and find yourself in the company of Romans: arches, walls, and foundations whispering in Latin. It feels less like a military museum and more like an archaeological dig, as if the whole fortress has been peeled back layer by layer to show its bones. Then the escalators arrive. Dozens of them. Long, gleaming flights carrying you up, down, sideways, through concrete and glass. By the time you’ve ridden what feels like forty-seven of them, you start to wonder if the escalators are the true exhibit, a kinetic sculpture of endless motion shuttling visitors through centuries. At the top of this electric pilgrimage, the small rooms appear. Collections of swords and spears line the walls, armor stands at attention, medals wink behind glass. The galleries are tight, almost modest compared to the vast foundation halls, but they hold their own charms. And then, without warning, you stumble on Japan: samurai armor lacquered like beetle shells, katana blades curved like crescents. No explanation, no apology, just another twist in the museum’s identity crisis. Step outside and the contradictions fall away. Toledo unfurls across the hills like a Renaissance painting, the Tagus River looping lazily below, rooftops glowing terracotta and gold. The view is not just terrific; it is the moment everything makes sense. Verdict: The Museo del Ejército is less about the Spanish Army than about the strange journey of history itself. First the Romans, then forty-seven escalators, then swords, samurai, and finally the view that conquers them.

(Translated by Google) A very good place to visit with children if they like animals. It is mainly a place that receives animals that cannot live in freedom, so this center is a shelter for them. The facilities are simple but the importance of the place is the treatment that visitors receive and the closeness of the caretakers, they do not skimp on giving all kinds of explanations to anyone who is interested. Very interactive. Don't miss the talk that is offered at a separate price, it is well worth it. IT IS NOT EXPENSIVE, if we think about the work they do and the few resources they have. My absolute support. Although the visit can be done in a couple of hours, we spent the whole day there and the children really enjoyed it. (Original) Un lugar muy bueno para visitar con niños si les gustan los animales. Se trata principalmente de un lugar que recibe animales que no pueden vivir en libertad, por lo que este centro es un lugar de acogida para ellos. Las instalaciones son sencillas pero la importancia del lugar es el trato que reciben los visitantes y la cercanía de los cuidadores, no escatiman en dar todo tipo de explicaciones a todo aquel que se interese. Muy interactivo. No os perdáis la charla que se ofrece con precio aparte, merece mucho la pena. NO ES CARO, si pensamos la labor que realizan y los pocos recursos con los que cuentan. Mi absoluto apoyo. Aunque la visita se puede realizar en un par de horas, nosotros pasamos allí todo el día y los niños disfrutaron muchísimo.

(Translated by Google) Great place to go with children. They will have a great time feeding the geese, goats, sheep, wild boars, etc. In terms of quantity and size of animals, it is not comparable to any zoo in a large city, but its concept does not pretend to be that way either. Great representation of local fauna (Original) Sitio genial para ir con niños.

(Translated by Google) Mediocre facilities. To begin with, on the one hand I understand that it is an animal reserve, that is, animals that cannot live in freedom. I also understand that they have a low budget, maybe… I don't know! I personally liked the visit. But there is one thing that doesn't seem right to me, the animal enclosures are a little small, the wolf is very disoriented and is very hot, the deer had a wound that is probably a lump of fat, nothing important, but hey, there it is. ... The birdhouse area is a little neglected in the sense that the nocturnal birds get a lot of light, the cages are quite small... Anyway, it could be improved, starting, for example, by putting more canvas so that the animals They can take refuge from the sun, there are animals that are exposed to the sun from sunrise to sunset and that is not at all healthy for them... The circuit is not very extensive, and there is not much interaction with the animals, something that in my opinion is not entirely incorrect. Animals have to be calm and not surrounded by children! I recommend visiting at least once, I will return the day the facilities improve... (Original) Instalaciones mediocres. Para empezar, por un lado entiendo que se trata de una reserva de animales, es decir, animales que no pueden vivir en libertad. Entiendo también, que tienen poco presupuesto, quizás… No lo sé! A mí personalmente me ha gustado la visita. Pero hay una cosa la cual no me parece correcta, los cercados de los animales son un poco pequeños, el lobo está muy desorientado pasa mucho calor, el ciervo tenía una herida que seguramente sea un bulto de grasa nada de importancia pero bueno, ahí está... La zona de la pajarería está un poco descuidada en el aspecto de que a las aves nocturnas les entra mucho la luz, las jaulas son bastante pequeñas... En fin se podría mejorar, empezando por ejemplo, en poner más lonas para que los animales se puedan refugiar del sol, hay animales a los que le está dando el sol desde que sale hasta que se mete y eso no es para nada saludable para ellos... El circuito no es muy extenso, y no hay mucha interacción con los animales algo que a mi parecer no es del todo incorrecto. Los animales tienen que estar tranquilos y no rodeados de niños! Recomiendo su visita al menos una vez, volveré el día que mejoren las instalaciones...

(Translated by Google) The truth is that it is a great place to spend an entertaining day, surrounded by nature. Parking is easy at the door. The site offers a walking tour (be careful, those of us with a child seat, as the path is made of sand and stone and there are some slopes). You will be able to see ducks, geese, donkeys, wolves, mountain goats, sheep, rabbits, birds, wild boars, deer, pigs, chickens...well...a little bit of everything. They have food to give to the animals (only those indicated in the instructions). It also has a cafeteria (you cannot bring drinks from outside, except water). There is also a large area with picnic tables for you to have a snack or eat and spend the day with the children in their park. It is worth visiting it and contributing the grain of sand they need to maintain the facilities. (Original) La verdad es que es un sitio genial para pasar un día entretenido, rodeado de naturaleza a tope. Se aparca fácilmente en la puerta. El recinto ofrece un recorrido a pie (atentos los que vamos con silla de niños, pues la senda es de arena y piedra y hay alguna cuesta). Podréis ver patos, ocas, burros, lobos, cabras montesas, ovejas, conejos, aves, jabalíes, ciervos, cerdos, gallinas....bueno....un poco de todo. Disponen de comida para dar a los animales (sólo los indicados en las instrucciones). Además cuenta con una cafetería (no se puede meter bebida del exterior, salvo agua). También hay una zona grande con mesas de picnic para que meriendes o comas y pases el día con los niños en su parque. Merece la pena visitarlo y aportar el grano de arena que necesitan para mantener las instalaciones.

(Translated by Google) I haven't been yet, we're going this weekend. My comment is directed to the two people who have written that this type of centers is mistreatment of animals and invite people not to finance these types of places with their entrance fee... I can't imagine such criticism being made of a recovery center. RECOVERY. As their name suggests, they take in different species of animals to recover from injuries, illnesses... Or anything that prevents them from being in their natural habitat. Instead of encouraging people not to go, perhaps they had to give them publicity, so that people do go and help them with their entry, in the financial cost that it must entail to keep this standing. I'm not going to say anything about the facilities, because as I say, we haven't been there yet. We will go this coming Saturday. If they are better or worse, it may be valuable. But assessing that it is a center where animals are mistreated seems unfair and wrong to me. This is not the website of the Madrid Zoo, nor the Safari Park,.... It is the website of a recovery center. Which by the way, there should be many more. There is also a comment from a boy who says that the interaction of animals with children is little... And less than it should be, animals should be calm, not constantly surrounded by children who, although in good faith, want to catch them. I have two girls and I have encouraged contact with animals since they were born, but always with the deepest respect for them. Greetings 🌏💖 (Original) Aún no he ido, vamos a ir este fin de semana. Mi comentario va dirigido a las dos personas que han escrito que este tipo de centros es un maltrato para los animales e invitan a la gente a que no financie con su entrada este tipo de lugares... No me cabe en la cabeza que se le haga una crítica así a un centro de recuperación. RE CU PE RA CI ON. Como su nombre indica, acogen a distintas especies de animales para recuperarlos de heridas, enfermedades... O cualquier cosa que impida que estén en su hábitat natural. En vez de fomentar que la gente no vaya, quizá si tenían que darles publicidad, para que la gente si vaya y les ayude con su entrada, en el coste económico que debe suponer mantener esto en pié. No me meto a decir nada sobre las instalaciones, porque como digo, aún no hemos ido. Iremos este sábado que viene. Si están mejor o peor, puede ser valorable. Pero valorar que es un centro donde se maltrata al animal, me parece Injusto y equivocado. Esta no es la página web del zoo de Madrid, ni del Safari Park,.... Es la página web de un centro de recuperación. Que por cierto, debería haber muchos más. Hay también un comentario de un chico que dice que la interacción de los animales con los niños es poca... Y menos que debería ser, los animales deben estar tranquilos, no continuamente rodeados de niños que aunque con buena fe, les quieren coger. Tengo dos niñas y he fomentado el contacto con animales desde que nacieron, pero siempre desde el más profundo respeto, hacia ellas y hacia ellos. Saludos 🌏💖

Temporarily Closed
Water park
Tours
Water Sports
Aquopolis Villanueva de la Cañada is a family-friendly water park offering extreme rides, wave machines, and attractions for younger kids. Visitors can enjoy free or paid parking options and bring their own food to the designated picnic area. The park has polite staff, clean facilities, and attentive lifeguards at every slide and area. However, some visitors find it crowded with long wait times for attractions.
The car park is free and entry to the park is reasonable at around twenty euros. The park has some intense wild rides, family rides and a good small kids area, including a beach area. There were weight limits for 4 rides (for your safety, there was scales available). The park had fast food, but nothing healthy though to eat, and a shop with essentials. You deffo need to wear some sandals, as the floor is very hot! (It was 33 degrees when we visited). It was very busy, and the highlight was the wave pool that went on every hour. Plenty of photographers around, with photos for ten euros (print quality was naff). Overall, very good and I highly recommend the place. We paid extra for fast pass tickets for the kids and the top tier VIP cabin, which was amazing! It has a fridge, fan and table, seating and lounge beds, and perfectly positioned under threes, which kept it fairly cool. There was table service for dominos pizza (which did take a while to get). We also bought the freestyle drinks, which you could fill up every 45 minutes. Some staff could speak English, some criticism was the car park was dirty and there was nothing healthy to eat. But other than that, it was a fantastic day out!! 💕

-Abre a las 12:00. -Parking de pago y gratuito, el de pago son 8€ aproximadamente, merece la pena si vas un poco tarde. -Puedes llevar comida y bebida. -Hay taquillas para neveras/mochilas. -Hay atracciones concurridas y otras no. -Hay dos zonas para niños pequeños con toboganes y juegos que no hay colas etc... -Hay zonas de restaurante(adjunto precios) -Cierre a las 20.00, pero a las 19.30 están sacando a la gente. In english: Opening Hours: Opens at 12:00 PM and closes at 8:00 PM, but they start clearing people out around 7:30 PM. Parking: There is both free and paid parking available. The paid parking costs around €8, and it's worth it if you're arriving a bit late. Food and Drinks: You're allowed to bring your own food and drinks. There are lockers available for storing coolers or backpacks. Attractions: Some attractions can get quite crowded, but others are less busy. There are two areas for small children with slides and games that usually have no lines. Restaurants: There are restaurant areas. (Let me know if you'd like to include the menu or prices.)

**Disappointing Experience with Speedy Pass and Overpriced Visit** The **Speedy Pass** feels like a waste of money in most cases, as you often end up waiting just as long as everyone else. Paying **35 euros** for it seems like a rip-off, especially when you add the nearly **40 euros per person** for park entrance—which is already quite expensive for what it offers. For our family of three (two parents and a child), the costs added up quickly: entrance tickets, one Speedy Pass, and a basic VIP area (which had broken seats and no cushions, just hard plastic) totaled **320 euros**. For that price, we expected a much better experience.

You should prepare a bag of food because everything is very expensive inside. You leave your food in the lockers at the entrance and eat in the food area. There is free parking for those who arrive early. It is worth buying the fast pass for several attractions because the lines are shocking. The yogurt is rare and not to be missed.

So, this water park has a lot going for it. It's clean and has a good variety of rides. It has a wide variety of food available. Beers are not expensive. However, the lines were long today and the parking lot was only half full, can't imagine what it's like when it's at capacity. Lastly, the wave pool's "waves" are perhaps 2 feet tall. It's sort of funny how small they are. All that said, it's a good break from the heat for a family and certainly worth it every now and then. *Second visit today. We spent $150 and got a VIP cabana area which was totally worth it. It had a hotel style combination safe included, which was great as we didn't have to worry about valuables. Looks like a safe comes with rented umbrellas as well. Worth the trip out from Madrid!*

I came with my older kids and we had a blast. Safety is taken care of, peolple were helpful and kind, the attractions were fun, and there is entertainment for the whole family. Bathrooms weren't perfect, but better than I expected. Only issue: very limited space for people eating their own food. Long waits are unavoidable, I suppose...

Fun place for kids to play on zip lines and kayaks. However, more monitors needed for large groups and access road needs some serious asphalting.

Amazing venue . Great fun for all the family - ideally 7 or older. Admittedly we had the place to ourselves so not sure if as much fun when busy!

We spent a good morning in the park. Great ziplines over the lake. Simple and good live line system. The views are awesome.

Centro Comercial Gran Plaza 2 is a multi-level shopping center featuring a striking domed ceiling and a diverse range of offerings including fashion, home decor, electronics, and dining options. The mall is bustling on Saturday evenings but quieter on Mondays. It houses Hipermercado Alcampo and boasts an array of shops, restaurants, and services. Recent renovations have enhanced the dining area while plans for adding cinemas are underway.
Many high-end stores and a small selection of restaurants. Beautiful interior and easy parking.

I've always enjoyed coming to this plaza, experience have usually been good. The last few times have been different I travel with my assistant dog proper paperwork etc the last few times I've been stopped and required to show my paid for work which is not the law here, this time they refuse me I showed the paperwork in a pleasant manner I was told that there is a new law, which there isn't so we were forced to leave the mall and go somewhere else embarrassing for this mall and it's training of its staff and security guards...

Clean, elegant mall where you can shop whatever is in your mind from different shops with friendly and helpful staff. When I visited there was a Nancy exhibition.

Gran Plaza was very well decorated, shops were well stocked. It wasn't crowded.

I have always loved Gran Plaza 2. Now that it has been a bit renovated it looks so much better on the outside! There are a ton of shops and cafes/restaurants. It’s really spacious. But something they could add in the future are maybe some activities so people could have more fun.
