From: Leticia (Toledo, Spain)
Depicts: Plaza de Zocodover and Alcázar of Toledo (Toledo, Spain)

I love Spain - I've said it many time here, I know - and even though my favorite city is Barcelona, I know there's a lot more to see and discover and love, and that's why I started trying to get as many direct swaps from there as possible, because the whole country is so beautiful and I identify myself so much with its culture! And so I've proposed a swap to Leticia and she sent me this beautiful card from Toledo, which is one of the few 'big' cities in Spain I haven't been to yet! This is the town square, the Zocodover Plaza, and the Alcázar of Toledo in the back (that big stone fortification), which is nowadays the Army Museum and also the region's Library. I loved the city view - so typically Spanish, right? - and I also really appreciated the fact that the little letters in the front of the card have little things specific from the city/region (the O is even the Alcázar!).

Postcard stamps:
My undying love for Catalan made me notice that in the stamp in the right it says "Bon Nadal" and so I loved it even more!
