It is located in central Spain, in the northwest of the region of Castile – La Mancha, of which the city of Toledo is also capital. The city has been declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.

There are numerous monumental sites all around the province. As well as the capital, which throughout history has served as an outstanding example of the peaceful co-existence of three cultures (Jewish, Christian and Muslim), other places well worth visiting are Talavera de la Reina (the most populated city in the Toledo province) and Carranque, the site of the Carranque Archaeological Park.

Toledo is famed for its ceramics, and above all for the religious festival of the Corpus Christi, awarded the designation of International Tourist Interest. The local gastronomy features particularly stews and game meats.
