Juanelo's water-lifting machine turns the problem of bringing water up from the Tagus into a story of ingenuity and applied knowledge.

Why Europe saw magicians in Toledo: a cave of padlocks, the men who went down with lanterns, a wooden man nobody saw, a translator Dante put in Hell, a school that never existed, Don Illán's partridges and water clocks that followed the moon.
Toledo fits into a walk, though rarely a straight line. Good soles and a plan by area do more for the trip than an endless list of monuments.
