Another interesting spot that illustrated the dynamics of three different religions living together was the Sinagoga de Santa Maria la Blanca. Built in the 14th century this former synagogue blended Gothic, Hebrew and Islamic motifs together.

We also explored a gold inlay shop for the metalwork that Toledo is known for. I'm not much of gold kinda guy but the technique was pretty intricate and cool in itself. We got to shop around a bit and I got to score a bullfighting print and Jen scored some handmade plates for her parents.
