As we were heading into Toledo. I had heard there was amazing architecture and a ton of churches. But we didn't know exactly were to stay or what to see. We only had one night so we had to make the best of it. Once we arrived we stoped at a few different hotels, but they were all sold out. They told us good luck but all rooms in the city are booked. I was bummed but we decided to park the car and at least explore the city and have dinner. As we were walking through the amazing narrow streets of Toledo we went into a few small hostels. After some persistence we luck out and found a room for the night. It was getting late so we had dinner and watched a World Cup match. We went to bed early and planned on getting up early and exploring the back streets of Toledo. We really only had a few hours to see the city and we made the best of it. We took a self guided walk I got out of the Spain Lonely Planet book. It took us through some of the most beautiful parts of the city. The phrase Holy Toledo came from this city. There are 79 churches and 1 cathedral. There is literally a church on every corner. If I ever spend time back in Spain, another day in Toledo is definitely justified.
