I promised my Mum that I would show her my route to class so here it is! Notice the clouds in the background - this is not normal for Toledo in the summer.

Also this is not the the most direct route to the school - but it is the route that I took every day for the first week and I still normally go this way on the way to class. There is a slight short cut that I take on the return journey because I'm normally hungry by then!

This building is pretty big and is at the end of my road. It used to be a hospital but now is a museum.

Next there is a road with a park on either side. Today there was a market in the park.

La Puerta Bisagra - this is the current main city gate. You can see the city wall extending to the left and right.

This is the city wall from the inside. This goes most of the way around the casco (historic city centre).

I think this is a church! It's fairly typical of the buildings in Toledo

La Puerta del Sol is another of the city's gates. This is part of another city wall inside the city (the city was expanded around this inner wall)

Another church

Lots of the streets are very small in Toledo. I especially like this street because it has plants hanging over the walls, and there are always lots of birds here (mainly pigeons).

Another common theme in Toledo is streets with buildings over the top of them. This one is fairly typical.

This is the last landmark on my way to class. When I was lost I always looked out for this building.

This is the door to the language school. Every door in Toledo seems to be different and has a different arrangement of carvings and studs.

One thing to bear in mind is that cars actually drive down most of these streets. Some of the streets are so narrow that when a car comes you have to stand in the doorway to one of the buildings.
