Está considerada uno de los ejemplos más notables de plazas porticadas castellanas. Los edificios que la rodean constan de elementos de madera vista, contabilizándose un total de 234 balcones. Goza de una protección integral de grado 11 y hace las veces de coso taurino. Las balconadas están pintadas de color verde, aunque en el pasado habrían lucido uno azul. Aquí está incluído el tiempo que tardaremos para trasladarnos de un sitio a otro
Fue erigido por orden de Felipe II, quien le encomendó el proyecto al arquitecto Juan Bautista de Toledo, que murió durante su construcción, por lo que su discípulo Juan de Herrera fue el encargado de rematar la obra. Durante todo el siglo XVII se paró la obra, hasta que en tiempos de Fernando VI se acomete una importante ampliación, que continuará Carlos III dotándolo de unas alas que encierran el patio de armas, tal y como se puede contemplar hoy en día.

La catedral de Santa María, llamada también catedral primada de España, es un templo católico de arquitectura gótica en Toledo. Su construcción comenzó en 1226 bajo el reinado de Fernando III el Santo y las últimas aportaciones góticas se dieron en siglo XV cuando en 1493 se cerraron las bóvedas de los pies de la nave central, en tiempos de los Reyes Católicos.

Dazzling surroundings of Madrid Excellent, the guide Alejandro and driver Mikhail!
We had a small group of 6 and our guide Tamara did a great job speaking English and Spanish. All 3 stops were enjoyable, particularly Aranjuez where the Palace is magnificent and far less crowded than Madrid. There was an option for lunch at Aranjuez. At Toledo there was plenty of free time and we joined with another larger bus to return to Madrid.
Angy our tour guide was EXCELLENT! 😁A++ She was very kind towards my family and very accommodating . The tour was excellent - descriptive thru all the 3 cities.
100% recommendable, pleasant, and reliable tour, excellent tour guide [Angy]
Useful excursion to visit three of the most touristic places of the CAM. In Aranjuez, we only visited the Royal Palace and in Toledo we had four hours to tour the city in our own air. Return a little late, if you take into account the entry holds to Madrid capital on a Sunday afternoon.
It was a wonderful tour. Everything was well organized. Don't miss the Aranjuez palace and the sunset view point fo Toledo.
Magical tour and very enjoyable with guide Alejandro and driver Leyli! Thank you so much!
Spectacular day with Angie, Tamara, and Carina. Lovely tour! Beautiful cities and lots of new history to discover!
Chinchón is a charming country town surrounded by olive and almond trees. The palace of Aranjuez is a jewel! Lots of walking up and down in Toledo but certainly worth the effort. Lots to see and do in Toledo know what you want to see so you don’t miss out.
We really liked the picturesqueness of Chinchón, the landscape of Aranjuez and the explanations of the guide Alejandro, next to the magnificent Imperial city of Toledo!
