From Madrid, we traveled to Toledo (The city in Spain, not Ohio... although Toledo, OH is one of Toledo's sister cities.). Toledo is divided into two parts- the old city and the new city. The new city is like any other city in Spain, but the old city is protected by an enormous wall on one side and a river on the other three sides. According to our guide, Toledo was so well-protected that it was never taken by force.

Tourism is the main industry in Toledo now, but they used to be known for their metal-working and making swords. You can still find swords in almost every shop, along with pocket and kitchen knives (for the more practical shoppers).
