LA PAQUI

El Alcázar de Toledo no es solo un castillo, es el "techo" de la ciudad donde la historia se toca con las manos. Sus cuatro torres vigilan el Tajo mientras guardan siglos de batallas y el imponente Museo del Ejército. Lo mejor no es solo su armadura medieval, sino el secreto de su última planta: una biblioteca con vistas de vértigo. Cuesta 5 € pero hay muchas excepciones que no pagan… menos res de edad, jubilados… Sube a su cafetería, pide un café y mira Toledo a tus pies; esa panorámica vale más que cualquier entrada. Es una parada obligatoria.

Uno de los edificios más icónicos de Toledo. Bonito por fuera, solo un poco por dentro. El recorrido es un poco confuso y hay muchas cosas que se repiten para mí gusto. Eso sí, un punto positivo es que tiene muchos elementos interactivos que hacen más atractiva la visita. Eso sí, necesitas muchas muchas horas para verlo. Yo por ejemplo lo vi todo, aunque claramente no leí todo, imposible. 3 horas estuve

El Alcázar de Toledo es una imponente fortaleza situada en la parte más alta de la ciudad. A lo largo de la historia ha sido palacio, fortaleza y academia militar. Destaca por su forma cuadrada, sus altas torres y su importancia histórica, especialmente durante la Guerra Civil Española. En la actualidad alberga el Museo del Ejército y es uno de los monumentos más emblemáticos de Toledo.
