Sunday in Toledo has its own order. The cathedral does not open for cultural visits until 14:00, and the Sephardic Museum, in the Tránsito Synagogue, opens at 10:00, is free and closes at 15:00. So the morning is for the Jewish quarter and the river, lunch in the old town and the afternoon for the cathedral, with the Mirador del Valle at the end, when the light falls on the city.

## The Day, Hour by Hour

9:00 · Departure. From Madrid, along the A-42: about 70 km. Park free outside the wall, at Azarquiel or Paseo de la Rosa, or in the paid Safont car park, and go up by the escalators. By train, the Avant leaves from Atocha and takes about 25 minutes.

10:00 · Tránsito Synagogue. A 14th-century synagogue and the Sephardic Museum. On Sundays, no charge.

11:00 · Santo Tomé. The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, by El Greco, two minutes away. Half an hour. If you are also going to see the next two monuments, buy the €14 tourist wristband here.

11:40 · San Juan de los Reyes and Santa María la Blanca. The Gothic cloister of the Catholic Monarchs and the synagogue of white arches, a hundred metres from each other.

12:45 · Zip line over the Tagus. You go down to the San Martín bridge and jump with Fly Toledo: €14.99, no booking, no minimum age and from 20 kg. You walk back across the bridge.

14:00 · Lunch. Alfileritos 24, in the old town, open all day and does not hurry you if you are late. Book for the dining room.

15:45 · Primate Cathedral. A good hour and a half. The basic ticket costs €12 and is timed: buy it online before you set off.

17:45 · Mirador del Valle. On the other side of the Tagus, the photo of the whole of Toledo. On foot it is 35 minutes from the old town; by car, six.

19:00 · Return. In Madrid around 20:15.

## If It Rains or You Are with Children

In the rain, swap the zip line and the viewpoint for the Alcázar and its Army Museum, which on Sundays is open from 10:00 to 16:30 and free for under-18s. With children, the zip line is what they will remember; the cloister of San Juan de los Reyes gives them some air between museums.
