We finished our journey by spending the last 3 nights in Madrid and taking a day trip to Toledo
We revisited the Museo del Prado, a bit more leisurely than when we rushed through it in 2000.
Centro de Arte Reina Sofia where Pablo Picasso's famous painting Guernica is housed. Below is a photo of a print in the gift shop as there are no photos allowed of the original.

TOLEDO
The quaint but beautiful train station in Toledo
Perched on top of a hill and surrounded on 3 sides by the Tajo River, Toledo is a beautiful historical city, and former capital city. Its 2,500 years of history includes Romans, Jews, Visigoths, Moors and Christians. In addition to its history, Toledo is also known for its Cathedral, its art and craft of cutlery, and its marzipan made by nuns who live in the many convents located in the city
Back in Madrid for one final hurrah, and a visit to the Presidential Palace
