The train line comes to a halt at Toledo but there are
bus
connections south to
Ciudad Real
, west to
La Puebla de Montalban
and
Talavera de la Reina
on the way to Extremadura, and east to
Cuenca
. If you have transport of your own, or fancy slow progress by bus and on foot, the
Montes de Toledo
, southwest of the city, are an interesting rural backwater.
More local excursions, by bus, to the south of Toledo, could include
Guadamur
(14km from Toledo), whose outstanding castle stands on a nearby hilltop, and
Orgaz
, once home to the count of El Greco's masterpiece
The Burial of the Count of Orgaz
, now a quiet village with a beautiful plaza, a magnificent Baroque church and a small fifteenth-century castle overlooking the main road to Ciudad Real. Other useful information
