Private Toledo and La Mancha Windmills Day Trip from Madrid

Overview

Join this private day trip to the ancient city of Toledo, the territory Miguel de Cervantes immortalized in Don Quixote and La Mancha. First, be taken to La Mancha's countryside, home of the famous windmills that motivated Don Quixote's fable of the great struggle with giants. See the town of Consuegra, where twelve beautifully maintained windmills line the hillsides, providing expansive panoramic views of the plains below. Discover the clever mechanisms of one of these windmills by stepping inside and hearing tales of their historical significance. Once you have embraced La Mancha's beauty, travel to Toledo, a city where millennia of the past mix peacefully. Discover its old center, visiting sites including the Gothic masterwork: the Toledo Cathedral. Wander around the Jewish Quarter, with its historic synagogues and secret courtyards, and learn about Toledo's handicrafts, including sword-making and damascene metalwork.
