The faces of Toledo

 

Photo 1. Behind this blacksmith's door the ramps of Toledo begin to fall away.  The smallest cake is marzipan, and it is so sweet. A lot of sugar and a lot of almonds. The largest cake is a toledana and inside you will find these sweet streaks of candied pumpkin called vermicelli. 
 
Photo 2. The Knights of the Middle Ages dressed in Toledo. The city was probably the most chic centre for armour. 
 
 
 
Photo 3. A face has disappeared. A masonry plate has replaced this face.The plate is handmade. A craftsman has set stone after stone to make a perfect geometry.
 
 
Photo 4. On guard! Toledo is full of inoffensive swords. Centuries ago they were a sign of strength and power, today they do not fight. They have a better mission: to be a cult object.
