COMBO: Toledo, Iluminations tour + Torres Bermejas (drink)

Experience a day without equal with this fascinating combo tour that includes a morning and afternoon visit to the walled city of Toledo, a panoramic evening tour through the illuminated streets Madrid and a night of pulsating flamenco at the world-famous Torres Bermejas venue.

Situated 70km south of Madrid on bend in the River Tagus, Toledo is a living museum that was known as the city of three cultures because of the Christians, Jews and Muslims who peacefully coexisted there for centuries. Admire its wealth of Moorish, Gothic, Mudejar, Renaissance and baroque architecture. The old town, a Unesco World Heritage Site, is a maze of narrow cobbled streets made up of discreet palaces. All roads seem to lead to the glorious Gothic cathedral, whose beauty is a testament to man’s perseverance – it took 267 years to build – and faith in God.

Arrive back in Madrid at about 3pm and enjoy free time before meeting again for the evening sightseeing tour through the brilliantly illuminated streets and squares. Pass beautiful boulevards and sensational squares, all radiant under the floodlights. A knowledgeable local guide will explain all about the history of the different attractions as you drive down tree-lined avenues packed with lively bars and cafés. The tour ends with a drink at the Torres Bermejas tablao, one of Madrid's top flamenco venues.
