Welcome to another week of Travel Photo Thursday. On Tuesday I decided to head out of Madrid, and visit Toledo on a day tour. Bus tours are really not my thing, but I knew that if I wanted to make the most of a day in Toledo I really had no choice. The tour was pleasant, and gave me a great feel for this historic city. I’ve put it on my list to return. At some point I want to wander the narrow streets, sit by the river, and catch the feel of the city at every time of day and night.
I’m sharing one of my favorite shots of the day.
To join in the Travel Photo Thursday fun simply post a photo on your blog. Return here and place your link in the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post.
Please post a link to a post featuring a travel photo, not simply a link to your blog.
As a courtesy please post a link to Budget Travelers Sandbox.
If you do tweet a shot, please use the hashtag #TPThursday.

I booked this tour through Madrid City Tours. The cost with lunch (optional) was 70 Euro, and I thought it was good value. We had a very knowledgeable guide, Anna, who provided interesting facts and stories of each site we visited. I was able to book online easily with a my credit card.

Beautiful picture! We chose Segovia instead of Toledo for our day trip from Madrid and this looks just as wonderful.

Love the photo! Toledo is on my list of places to return to as well. Next time, I think I’ll spend a night there. Would be fab to amble about at night.

I didn’t get to Toledo either. We reveled in Granada, but would love to get back to Spain, and your photo is more enticement to go to Toledo.
What a great shot. I never made it to Toledo but I’ll definitely put it on my list of places to see on my next visit to Spain.

That’s a very pretty shot and I’m surprised to see so much yellow. It looks like a beautiful day though I know Spain can be cold in the winter.

We’ve just been talking ‘Spain’ again and this photo helps put it higher on the list. We didn’t make it to Toledo, but plan to go the next time around.

Thanks Mike! and hurry back
I love it when the guides know what they’re talking about — it makes all the difference in the world.

I’m doing a catch up on your blog, Nancie, and didn’t realise that you’d gone to Spain. How lovely this looks!
