Your experience

A city of mysteries and secrets

With a history dating back to 193 BC, Toledo is no stranger to mysterious legends and tales of epic proportions. A city famed for the phrase “Toledan Night”, you'll witness timeless legends and tales of this city come to life. Your story begins when you meet your guide at the Plaza de Zocodover – the city’s central hub and where public burnings took place during the Inquisition. Feast your eyes on the Alcazar de Toledo – a strategic fortress perched on a hilltop, home to a legend of generosity and faith, waiting to be passed on to the curious. Nestled in the narrow alleyways is the Templar House, where the Knights Templar once lived. This order is linked to several mysteries including buried treasure and the search for a holy artifact.

The lines blur between fact and fiction

Learn about the tale of El Cristo de la Calavera, how love can make men mad, and how a good laugh can lead to an unbreakable friendship. As you walk through Hell’s Alley, you’ll be mystified by the story of La Diablesa – a witch who helped a nobleman find his love, but at a cost. Hear a tale of supernatural terror, a lesson highlighting the pitfalls of stealing at the Toledo Cathedral. Listen to legends popularized by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer – a Spanish romantic poet regarded as the most significant face of Spanish literature.

Your tour ends back where it began, at the Plaza de Zocodover. It is a symbolic conclusion to a night where all things end where they begin in the magical city of Toledo.
