The old Celtiberian towns (oppida) were all hills with a river around them. But of course Toledo is special because of its history. Once I looked for a house to buy there and was shown an early sixteenth-century place that seemed to bow like a house in a story book. Dig anywhere in Toledo and you uncover some Roman, Visigoth, or Arab ruin. Expat21: There are many cities like that in Spain.

Interesting some of the Moorish customs stayed long after they were gone. Wish you had a larger image of that room. Looks simple but functional.
