Toledo
Entrance of the city.
Was there a specific store that you found good deals on souvenirs or was it easy to find reasonable prices at various stores in Toledo?
Hi
We bought some really nice damascene jewellery decorated in a Moorish design from the Toledo sword factory. Refer - http://www.toledo-turismo.com/turismo/contenido/conociendo-la-ciudad/artesania/damasquinado.aspx
This is from my shopping tip on Toledo:
In most shops: Great prices

Toledo Shopping
Name of Shop: In most shops
Toledo is a great place to pick up souvenirs and inexpensive gifts.
Spanish shawls for instance that were Euro 50 - 85 in Madrid, I bought in Toledo for Euro 30 each. All my friends got one :)
Steel knives and swords (don't know if you can fly them home or not) are available in all sizes and prices. Much less expensive than anywhere else.
Even picture postal cards are cheaper, running about 30 Euro cents each rather than 50 Euro cents as in most other places in Spain.
Definitely recommend doing your souvenir shopping in Toledo.
What I enjoyed the most during my day-trip to Toledo was to walk aimlessly around the city. It's like everywhere you look you uncover a treasure that was meant to be found only by you :o) Although it's easy to get disoriented, you can never truly get lost in the old city because it is fairly small, and soon enough you'll stumble upon a well-known monument. So if you go to Toledo, put on a pair of walking shoes, fold your map, and find your own treasures!
lot's of natur and small villages around Toledo, where the people are friendly and hospitable. but it is also one of the poorest stretches of Spain, away from the Tourist stream, maybe that's the charm of it all the Cathedral made a big impression on me, so did the Paintings of El Greco.
You can get easily lost in Toledo, due to its narrow streets that all seem the same after a while. But there are signs all around showing you the way to the main attractions.
A map is useful too :-))
Travelling through La Mancha country you will suddenly come across large silhouetted bulls standing at around 14metres high, usually on a bit of a hill for effect. Known as the Osborne Bull because it was started originally by a company called Osborne Sherry who started to put them around the countryside in 1956 to advertise their Brandy de Jerez. When a law was passed to ban this kind of advertising, there was an outcry to removing the bulls altogether and so just the advertising was blacked out
Though I don't personally like them, many tourists (specially from USA) ask for these little figures, so I thought it would be interesting to put a tip on them.
The shop is between the San Juan de las Duenas church and the Cambron Gate.
