During the visit we will enter in some of the most emblematic monuments of old Toledo, namely the Cathedral, Santo Tomé Church (where the painting "Entierro del Señor de Orgaz, by El Greco, is exhibited), the synagogue Santa María la Blanca, and the cloister of San Juan de los Reyes. 

   The visit to old Toledo is included in the registration fee of the participants.

 

  3) The conference dinner.

 

  The conference dinner will be celebrated in the evening of Thursday 15. It will take place in the cigarral Viñedos Cigarral Santa María

  A "cigarral" is a typical country house of Toledo, surrounded by labor lands. The cigarrales are outside the city of Toledo, typically located at a few km. from the city center. Nowadays most of the cigarrales have been converted into charming restaurants where social events (weddings, social meetings, etc) are celebrated. Since the cigarrales are outside of the city, and typically built at high points, spectacular views of the Toledo city are enjoyed from them. Traditional gastronomy is another of the main attractions of cigarrales. 

  We will go to Viñedos Cigarral Santa María by bus. Upon arrival we will enjoy a welcome coctel in the terrace of the cigarral, enjoying beautiful views of Toledo.   After the coctel, the dinner will be served in the restaurant, which is an old wine cellar. After the dinner is finished, the bus will take us back to Toledo city.

 

  The conference dinner is included in the registration fee of the participants.
