It&#8217;s name is la Santa Iglesia Catedral Primada de Toledo. It is the largest church I have ever been in! You can\u2019t tell from the outside, but it has several courtyard&#8217;s, an ancient college, and a series of floors and catacombs. This cathedral is actually officially a basilica because it has a chair for the bishop\u2026 who knew that was the difference between a church and a basilica?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-175 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/focus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2019\/07\/Altar-at-Toledo-e1563460382526-195x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"187\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/focus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2019\/07\/Altar-at-Toledo-e1563460382526-195x300.png 195w, https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/focus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2019\/07\/Altar-at-Toledo-e1563460382526.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-186\" src=\"http:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/focus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2019\/07\/Outside-of-Catedral-de-Toledo-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"511\" height=\"288\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This photo is of the Royal Palace in Madrid.

The people in Spain are so friendly and the vendors are always super understanding when you are trying to speak Spanish. I also ate so MANY TAPAS! The photo on the right is of the <i>bomba de treb\u00f3l.<\/i> It was by far the best tapa I had in Spain.
