Excursion & Social dinner

There will be an excursion to the beautiful city of Toledo. This city is located 70km south of Madrid. It is known as the city of the three cultures, because of the (centuries-long) coexistence of Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures in the Middle Ages. Due this rich cultural and monumental heritage, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Social dinner will also take place in Toledo, at El Casón de los López restaurant.

Important: The historic center of Toledo is rather hilly, and most streets are cobblestone, so comfortable shoes are highly recommended for the excursion.
