Why Mirador del Valle matters
From the viewpoint across the river, Toledo appears in a single frame: the Alcazar, the cathedral spire and the city walls above the looping river. It is the same view El Greco painted in his View of Toledo. Come at sunset or early morning for the best light.
Talking points
- The view is similar to that in El Greco's View of Toledo.
- The Tagus river curves around the city.
- Sunset and morning give the best light.
