As dusk settles over Toledo, the city’s familiar silhouette gives way to a different texture: narrow alleys take on a sharper edge, gates and convent walls become stages for stories of Templars, witches and lost treasures, and subterranean spaces—Roman and medieval—prompt a reimagining of what lies beneath the streets. This guided English-language experience leads you off the tourist trail to discover that other, darker Toledo.
