The city of Toledo, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, is located on a rocky headland, bordered by the river Tajo in the very heart of Spain, just 70 kilometers from the capital, Madrid. Considered by many to be a "Second Rome", Toledo is still very much a unique city. Unique in its details, history, culture and charm. Three cultures from three single-faith religions - Muslim, Hebrew and Christian - left their imprints on this sad rock and cradle of civilizations - as Cervantes wrote - embracing the Tajo, witness to the mark of all the peoples of the Iberian Peninsular. For centuries, the capital of Castile-La Mancha has been able to preserve an unrivalled, thousand-year-old urban, architectural, and artistic heritage. Churches, synagogues, mosques, convents, city walls, bridges, towers and an endless amount of cultural and artistic possibilities held in their buildings make Toledo a museum waiting to be discovered TOLEDO Minivan Mercedes Viano for 8 pax………..325€ Mercedes “E” class for 3 pax…….280€ Duratión : 8h.

Segovia is a city full of ancient history, which origin dates back to Celtiberian tribes, who built it in a craggy rock made of limestone. The height of the cliff is over 1000 meters above sea level. The silhouette drawn on the Castilian clean sky has been compared, from the 16th century, to a ship made of stone, waiting for the two rivers that flow on its feet (Eresma and Clamores) to flood the valley, so it can sail to the vast sea of the plateau.

The name of Aranjuez is itself an evocation, and likewise at Chartres mention comes before us as by a spell, the image of the imposing cathedral, to name a run in unison Aranjuez History, Art and Nature, not know what comes before what. It is true that, initially, Aranjuez is a gift of the Tajo and Jarama, as the Nile in Egypt, are fertile lands that touch, but the fact remains that history fruit planted there by grafting Art in Nature. This created a balance that has always had a lot of romantic experience in the meeting, in short, the man with his environment, in Aranjuez, was paradise for the kindness of the Site. Duratión : 8h.
