The door that people see today was rebuilt. Two times a year in spring and autumn, cars have to take a detour, and it will become a must-pass place for sheep to transfer from summer pastures to winter pastures, or from winter pastures to summer pastures. In fact, it has now evolved into a ceremony that preserves ancient traditions.

In the southeast corner of Alcala Gate, there is the beautiful Lichi Park, which easily reminds people of royal gardens such as the Summer Palace or Beihai Park. Lichi Park was built by Philip IV in the 17th century. It was originally a park exclusive to the kings, queens and entourages of Spain. Now the Madrid people have long turned it into their own territory.

There are beautiful lawns, woods, bright lakes, and exquisite marble statues. Madrid people like to bask in the sun and drink coffee here. You can row in the lake in the park, about 5 Euros per hour.

After Yunluo and Yan Chenyu arrived in Madrid, the weather here was like a storm. The sun rose to the east and rained to the west. This street was still raining, and the next street had cleared. The next three days were also as sad. Is there any bright sunshine on the legendary Southern European Plateau? Fortunately, when Yunluo and Yan Chenyu needed sunshine the most in Lichi Park.

The sun was quite powerful, and drove away the dark clouds, allowing Yunluo and Yan Chenyu to enjoy a warm afternoon like the locals by the lake for a short while. To be ashamed, I have never been to Beihai or the Summer Palace in the capital.

Lichi Park is very large, including many hills, woods and sculptures, as well as the tomb of Alfonso XII, the gypsy fountain, the Crystal Palace, the Vilasquez Palace, the few devil statues in the world and the forests of the victims, etc., and Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu are not allowed to see them one by one, both physical strength and time.

Walk southeast along Prado Avenue at the entrance of Lichi Park, first pass the Prado Art Gallery, and then arrive at Queen Sophia National Art Center. Time limit, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu chose to visit the latter, which coincided with Sunday. You can visit for free.

Queen Sophia National Art Center is one of the largest museums in the world. It was established on the framework of a hospital in the 18th century. The works of Picasso and Dali are indispensable. Picasso's legendary work "Guernica" is treasured here, as well as Dali's famous work "The Homosexual" and some works by Miro.

Visitors who know how to appreciate can take a look. As for Yunluo, Yunluo can only say that he came here and returned ignorantly. If he hadn't seen the introduction of "Gernica" later, Yunluo really didn't know what Picasso, the buddy, wanted to express.

There are many exhibits in Queen Sofia's National Art Center that refuse to be photographed, especially the guards in the works like Guernica. Although there are also "lovers" who can take photos, Yun Luo still abides by the rules and never takes out the camera from beginning to end, so only the appearance of the art center and the image of the first floor of the corridor are left.

Sophia, known as the capital of art, is a large work of art itself. She occupies a large area west of the Plaza de Carlos V., with the interior as simple as the appearance, which can better set off the rare artwork.

The Sofia Art Center has a straight staircase for visitors to ride, which facilitates tourists who are not good at legs and feet and are too tired. However, there are many people in the elevator and have to queue up. Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu basically walked on the stairs and went up the stairs to the top floor of the Art Center and saw such a view. To be honest, lz is a rough person with no culture.

I still like the scenery above. When Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu visited inside, it rained again. Now the air is fresher and intoxicated!

After coming out of the Sofia Art Center, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu realized that the Atocha Railway Station (patatocha) that arrived in the morning was just east of Sofia. The only disadvantage of taking the subway is that it makes people dizzy. In the morning, I didn't understand the location of Atocha because I went directly from the train station to the subway station.

Atocha Railway Station was built in the 19th century and is a combination of iron and glass. It is well preserved. In 1992, it was transformed into a tropical garden with 500 species of plants. It is not so much a transportation hub. It is better to say that it is a wooded greenhouse. However, the riddled ceiling here still reveals her identity as an ancient European railway station.

It made people realize that she actually belonged to another era. Since Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had to fly back to the capital when they left Madrid, Toledo and Segovia who went there in the next two days also chose to arrive by bus, so this was the only and last time Yunluo and Yan Chenyu saw Atocha Railway Station from outside.

Walking back to Piazza Ciberes from Prado Avenue, followed the Granny to Piazza Pierre de Sol. At this time, the rain fell down the nth time.

Piazza de Sol is located in the center of Madrid, and is the starting point of Madrid and the entire Spanish highway. In Rome, it is said: "All roads lead to Rome." In Spain, it is said that "all roads lead to Piazza de Sol." When the New Year comes, all Madrid citizens will flock here to celebrate the New Year.

It is hard to imagine that this small town 50 kilometers away from Madrid is the former capital of Spain. Toledo is a place that every tourist who comes to Spain must not miss. It is very small and may not be called a city at all, but there, history has accumulated layer by layer, and Christianity, Islam and Judaism coexist here.

The Mudeharic architecture that combines Roman and Arabic styles can still be seen in the ancient city, mixed with Gothic churches, Visigothic houses, synagogues, and Renaissance-style mansions.

Because of this unique urban appearance, this inclusive ancient city has been listed as a world historical and cultural heritage. Although the ancient city of Toledo cannot be missed, it is even more important to climb up the hillside outside the city and take a good look at the panoramic view of Toledo.

From Madrid to Toledo, I personally think that buses are more convenient than trains. The train station in Toledo is far from the ancient city. Take Metro Line 6 Plazaeliptica Station in Madrid.

Get off the bus and follow the terror fan nalautobu color sign to find the bus stop. After leaving the subway station, pay attention to the purple arrow sign on the pillars on the same floor. There is a ticket window with the words "taquillamad"-toledoenelnivel-3" written on the arrow to find the Alsa (bus company name).

I have to admire the perfect design of Madrid bus station and subway transfer, which just rightly allows tourists who are new to Madrid to easily find the station.

There are many trains from Madrid to Toledo, and the journey takes 1 hour. The bus is not far from the city, and you can see the ancient city on the mountain when you get off.

After climbing, you will see the famous city gate of Toledo, the Puertade Sagra, which is the main entrance to the old city of Toledo, consisting of two main parts and a huge imperial emblem. There is also a courtyard. This majestic gate was originally built by the Arabs and was rebuilt during the reign of Carlos I.

Compared with the history of Toledo, this city gate is not old, it was rebuilt in the 16th century. However, the form of the city wall is in the form of an Arabic city wall. It can be seen from the name that this city gate should have existed during the Moorish rule. However, the shape has long changed and has become a new product after the 16th century.

When you enter the ancient city, everything is ancient. 400 years ago, the painter Al Greke once painted "The Scenery and Plan of Toledo". 400 years later, the Toledo that Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu saw were exactly the same as those at that time, which made people sigh. Toledo's legal provisions.

All new buildings must be built in the style of buildings in the 11th to 14th centuries. Walking on the streets of Toledo, it is really impossible to tell which one is new and which one is old.

Continue to climb the hill. You can see the Sun Portament built in the 13th century suddenly appearing here, which looks a little abrupt. The Sun Portament has a typical Arabic style, tall, magnificent, and upright. There are two sayings that it is called the Sun Portament: one is that there is a pattern of the sun and the moon on the gate.

The second is called the astrological measurement results of the Alfonso X era, which is located at zero degrees of the meridian. From sunrise to sunset, the sunlight always shines on this gate.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu chose to stay in Toledo for one night. Fortunately, the hotel in Madrid agreed to store their luggage, so they only brought one night's simple luggage to Toledo.

Returning to Madrid from Toledo, I still stayed in the hotel yesterday. This way I can come to this small town on the mountain with light clothes and stay for one night. I don’t have to spend time looking for a new hotel when I return to Madrid. I can beat three birds with all my life~

The hotel is easy to find. Next to Sudekbel Square, this is the most prosperous square in Toledo. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu really didn't expect to stay in such a good location for 60 euros a night. The hotel's conditions are also very good and the cost-effectiveness is very high. You can recommend it. A panoramic view of Toledo was hung at the front desk of the hotel. When you first look, you became more determined to Yunluo's determination to go outside the city to take a look.

The weather in Toledo is the same as Madrid. When I entered the hotel, the sun shone brightly outside. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were still glad that they finally escaped Madrid's "child's face". But I put down my luggage and came out. Sodekbel Square is already like this. Well, because Toledo is a mountain city, let's take it as you like.

Toledo must not be able to find a big supermarket. I asked the front desk and pointed to Yunluo and Yan Chenyu a Chinese supermarket on the street from the hotel. The price of water is fair, 1.5 liters and 0.3 euros. There are also freshly released baguettes here, which are super fragrant. In the evening, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu came here to buy two, 0.5 UE per, 0.75 UE two, and 0.9 UE three.

Many locals came here to buy a lot of roots. Taking advantage of the time of buying water, Yan Chenyu talked to the supermarket owner about the Chinese restaurant. The boss introduced her to the Chinese restaurant next to the square, which was a buffet, with 9.95 euros per person, similar to Haolunge, which includes fried rice, various stir-fry dishes, shrimps and chicken wings. In short, Yan Chenyu opened a meal.

After walking out of the restaurant, I seemed to have gained a lot of weight. Haha, is the charm of Chinese food so great?

Yun Luo, who had always rejected eating Chinese food abroad, naturally parted ways with Yan Chenyu and chose a restaurant around the square to make lunch. However, it seemed that Yan Chenyu's choice was not the right one. Yan Chenyu asked for barbecue and French fries, and Yun Luo asked for his favorite meat sauce noodles. They were not very successful, and the amount was very small.

Finally, I went to McDonald's next to me and bought a 1 UEFA burger. Speaking of a 1 UEFA burger in Spain, a 1 UEFA burger in Spain is really a good thing. It is cheap and full. Generally, two is enough to eat, which is cheaper than kebab, but I can't bear it. Since I came back, Yunluo has never eaten a McDonald's.

Finally, let’s summarize. Yan Chenyu has eaten more successfully than Yunluo and Yan Chenyu in this meal. It is recommended that you also try the Chinese buffet at that restaurant. It is easy to find. Next to Sudekbell Square, you can find it by asking. It is very close to the Chinese supermarket.

When you come to Toledo, the cathedral is not the most important, and the castle of Alcazar is not the most important. The most important thing is to go around the hillside outside the city to take a look at the panoramic view of Toledo.

For Yunluo, the most important itinerary, Yan Chenyu began to study how to go around the mountain outside the city.

It is completely walkable from the ancient city to the hillside outside the city, but to be safe, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu decided to go back to the bus. Almost all bus terminals are next to Alcazar Castle.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu are also here, where the 71st line is about to go out of the city and go up the mountain. The interval is relatively long, and each train is about 45 minutes. When they arrived at the station, they just walked around Alcazar Castle.

Al-Lasal Castle was once the residence of the emperor, with a military museum and regional library in its annex. The castle was built on the tall hills of the city, and all the closely guarded fortresses since the ancient Roman times were built in this area.

The castle I have seen is rebuilt based on the prototype of the castle designed and built by King Carlos V by Covar As and Herrera. The original castle was completely destroyed during the Spanish Civil War in 1936 after several fires.

The most prominent part of the castle is the northern facade, the grand central courtyard and the imperial staircase (eliraimpe, also known as the Eliradehono) from the oldest east facade of the castle. You will also see a garden-style view of the walled walls, and you will be able to see the beautiful view of the narrow valley formed by the Tagus River surrounding the city of Toledo.

The No. 71, which Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were going to take, happened to be parked next to the exterior wall of the castle. When asked the driver if he could reach the hillside outside the city, the driver gave a positive reply and told Yunluo and Yan Chenyu where to get on the bus. Although the roads in the ancient city of Toledo are narrow, the buses are not inferior at all, and they are all big guys!

Toledo in front of me is an isolated city on the top of a mountain surrounded by the Hota River. Rather than saying that it was the capital of Spain, it is better to say that it is a natural military fortress. Such a geographical situation should be the reason why Toledo was chosen as the capital by the Visigoths in that war-torn era.
