Fundación José Ortega y Gasset

Picaro is a great cafe in the daytime and an even better club at night. O'Brien's Irish Pub was a favorite among the students, as well as bars like Camelot, Straze, El Trasgo, El Recaredo, La Estación, and Garcilaso Café. I also loved Bar Royal and Bar Alcázar for coffee or wine al fresco. Any restaurant in the Plaza de Zocodover is worth it for the people-watching opportunities alone. La Casa de Damasco is one of the city's best kept secrets with its Syrian flair and delicious hummus! You must ride the Zoco-tren, a tiny little tram that takes about 50 tourists on a 45 minute ride around the city and outside its walls. The views are breathtaking and offer the best photo ops. Of course you'll want to visit La iglesia de Santo Tomé to see "El Entierro del Señor de Orgaz" by El Greco. Seeing that painting in real life far surpasses any textbook print. After all that you can have a seat at either one of the two Enebro's restaurants, which offer a small glass of beer and a plate full of tapas for under 2 bucks. It's truly the best deal in town.

I fell in love with this city. The night life was terrific, the youth was incredibly friendly, and I have never eaten so much steak in my life! If you visit and enjoy futbol, I highly suggest that you find a cinco futbol club. Cinco futbol is played on a field the size of a basketball court and it is 5 vs 5, so you are always in the action. I still dream of Argentina.

Go to Kiosko Miradero (enjoy the Malibu y pina). Then head downstairs for a few bars and dance clubs. The owner of Kiosko Miradero is a great guy who loves helping everyone with their conversational skills.

Toledo is small, so you're not going to find an outrageous night scene. However, there are places to go-bars, clubs, restaurants and squares-so it's never boring.

La Marea and Picarro...great bars
