Toledo continued

Today, Sunday, was Election Day in Spain. Lots of things were closed this morning as a result. Why didn’t I think? I walked over to the Jewish Quarter, hoping to visit the Sephardic Museum, but it was only going to be open for an hour in the afternoon.


Bronze plaque in the pavement.

On the way back to the Posada, I found something open: the Taller de Moro, in an old Mudejar palace. It had reputedly been a workshop for repairs to the Cathedral during the Middle Ages.

Outside again, heading back past the Cathedral, which would open for visitors in the afternoon:







Next: lunch!
