Cafe Concert!

While in Toledo, Spain, we visited several spots in the city and found one we became very fond of: the Plaza de San Justo.  



There is a beautiful atmosphere about the place, perhaps because it's right at the foot of San Justo's church.



In this particular spot there's a place called "Café Virtudes", where there's live music (they have a calendar and this website).  Here's an informal view...


In July 2016, while we were still in Toledo, they had a live concert with an Argentine tango singer.  Some view it was... under the beautiful night of Spain (boy, that sounds corny!). 


The stage lights added a touch to the evening.
 

The nicest thing is that there wasn't a stage, properly speaking, but rather the whole area near the cafe was the stage.


The attentive audience...  good food, good drinks, good music... what else can one ask for?


On our way back home we encountered another event: a rock concert.

 

It wasn't nearly half as good as the other... but, again, it speaks of the active cultural life in Toledo.  The best part of the evening was walking right under this landmark.




The "Arco de la catedral", which actually joins two different buildings (the Cardinal's palace and the cathedral, I believe), is a landmark and give a great view of the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.  But at nights it can be a very discreet, charming and yet intriguing spot. 

I will return with images of a completely different nature, always from Spain.
