One of the most popular day trips is to the city of Toledo, 70 kilometers south of Madrid. Toledo was the capital of Spain for many centuries and is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its collection of impressive architecture. Highlights include the Cathedral, Puente de Alcántara, the old Jewish Quarter, and the Plaza Zocodover. No trip is complete without trying mazapán, a Toledo specialty.
