C/ Moscardo from the Alcázar Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha |
Bar/Lounge Price: €€ |
I’ve heard rumors of a great disco beneath the underground car park at the top of the hill across C/ Moscardo from the Alcázar. Maybe you’ll have better luck finding it. The same goes for Agua Loca, reported to me by a Basque after my last trip to Toledo and apparently a disco in the country outside of town capable of holding 4-6,000 people.

Plaza Corral de La Campaña Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha |
Bar/Lounge Price: €€€ |
Picoro is one of the few places where there is guaranteed to be a crowd late at night. It’s a fashionable place, with three levels, a ground dance floor, suave lighting and sultry nude black and white photography. The other late-night hangout is Café Teatro Dodici in Plaza Corral de La Campaña. This posh place is wide-open like a cross between a palace and a fancy Western saloon, with wood paneling everywhere, a long carved bar and a lofty DJ station. It’s dead until 1:30 am when the disco starts bumping.

C/ Hombre de Palo 9 Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha 92 522 38 09 |
Contemporary Price: €€ |
El Cobertizo came highly recommended by the concierge at Carlos V. This nice restaurant occupies a second floor with windows overlooking a busy pedestrian street lined with sword shops and marzipan bakeries. Try the trucha encurtido, a pickled trout popular in the region. Asados, or roasts, are also recommended, as are the pescados a la sal (salted fish), of which the waiter recommends – justifiably – the merluza, or hake.

C/ Núñez de Arce 3 Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha 92 525 11 40 |
Traditional Price: €€ |
La AbadÃa will also be crowded, but mostly with locals that have discovered this cool restaurant in the Plaza de San Nicolas. Squat seats and tables occupy a number of chambers, both upstairs and down. During regular dining hours the bar is a good place to pick from the pulgas (meaning literally ‘fleas’), small bits of meat, cheese or seafood sandwiched between slices of bread.

Corral Don Diego 5 Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha 92 525 35 52 |
Contemporary Price: €€ |
Mesón de Don Diego isn’t especially reputable for its cooking (the afternoon menu del dÃa is 12 Euro). What it does have is a unique setting in a private plaza entered through a single gate. This neat and potentially romantic courtyard has outdoor tables lit by candles and overhung by strands of lighted, flapping flags. The house specialties are cordero (lamb) and cabrito (roast kid).
