María Pacheco, the queen who took refuge in the cathedral and another queen’s signature in 589 reveal women’s place in Toledo’s political history.

Then come the cardinal's maidens, the nuns of San Clemente who said no, a morning in 1479 when a queen may have been born, the women who spun silk without appearing in the contracts, and the palace where the Empress died in 1539.
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.
