I fell in love with Toledo all over again tonight. Sick of the tour­ists, I decided to walk down the other side of the city, and see the other bridge, the Puente de San Martin. It’s even more beau­ti­ful down there, and I dis­covered that there’s a path by the river­side that goes all the way around the city to my bridge, the Puente de Alcan­tara [Pics: 1 | 2 | 3]. It took me two hours, but it was stun­ning, breath­tak­ing. I found a spot secluded and dangled my feet from a fallen log into the river. I saw the remains of roman stones in the middle. I saw an old punt, its metal line still stretched across the banks. I saw geese. Best of all, I did not see a single tourist.
