 NOTHING PREPARES you for Albarracín, with its narrow streets terracing
up the hillside and the casas colgadas, houses with wooden balconies
precariously hanging over the streets below. When Walt Disney had Mickey Mouse running around medieval streets in The
Sorcerer’s Apprentice, he must have conjured up the idea after a visit
to this mountain-top village, where the streets are so narrow that
neighbours not only can shake hands from their windows but probably
share the same curtains!

 If you don’t live in the city it’s hard to know where to eat. So we’ve
spotlighted what we think are some of the best restaurants in Valencia. A SPECIAL mention goes to the innovative restaurant, Appetite, in the
charming and bohemian district of Russafa, just a 10-minute walk from
the city centre.

 ¡FRESQUITA! SAYS the dumpling of a lady with rosy cheeks and a big
smile, and wearing a shapeless, colourless frock that doesn’t look as if
it’s seen the inside of a washing machine for a couple of decades.
¡Muy buena! I reply, as she trundles off to her allotment to begin the
day’s ritual of watering, weeding and digging.

 RUBIELOS DE MORA is one of those wonderful Spanish villages that seem
forever set in Sunday afternoon mode. In the narrow, twisting medieval
streets within the walls of the historic centre you may see the
occasional granny pulling a wheelie basket and you know it’s rush-hour
when a cat gets up to stretch its legs after a couple of hours doze in
the sun.

TOLEDO WAS the capital city of ancient Spain and was ruled by Romans,
Visigoths, Moors and Christians. For most of the time all faiths and
cultures had the freedom to follow their own conscience whilst living in
a city that boasts the famous Alcazar as its centre piece. The former
fortified Royal Palace is now a military museum and has been involved in
just about every one of the many invasions in the turbulent history of
this city.
