We caught the superfast train to Toledo - 78 km in 28 minutes. We had a fabulous day.
We visited the churches, synogogues, museums etc but as interesting as any, were the amazing streets and alleys of old Toledo.
We started at the cathedral built in 1226. Large and magnificent with great stained glass! The treasury was stacked with precious things, vestments etc.
We went to visit several churches, 2 synogogues from the era before the Jews were expelled from old Toledo and saw the El Greco painting, The Burial of Count of Orgaz.
We climbed the steps to the top of the steeple in the Jesuit church and had a wonderful view over Toledo..... Toledo Desde El Cielo... From the Heaven. We were able to see the entire old town and to the new town beyond.
We retraced our steps and were back in Madrid in time for a rest before our 10 pm dinner.

That train sounds much better than CityFail.
I wish they'd bring that train here. Today, 95 km took 1 hour and 45 minutes.
