Sunday morning, Toledo

Alba Photo

A good excuse to return to Toledo when a friend comes to see me.
After visiting, I return to the Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Valle (Chapel of Our Lady of the Valley) where we have one of the best views of Toledo.
Trivia:
The first time I came to this Ermita, I heard the sound charming little bell every turn, I realized that every time someone came out, it sounded this bell.
Naturally, I asked why.
They explained that this is not the virgin patron saint of Toledo is highly venerated, which is can make a wish, it will come true if we look back to see her.
This place is magical.

Then, after this visit, a good Arroz con chopitos, jugo de perejil and garlic sauce (rice with squid mini juice, parsley and garlic sauce) tasted marvelously this table finishes the day.
