DON'T whatever you do... decide to walk from the coach station or the train station up into Toledo. From the train station there is an easily found bus stop; from the bus station there isn't. When you get off the bus or the train find the taxi rank asap. Ask the driver for Plaza Zocodover. At the station the rank is directly outside; at the bus station it is up the moving stairs, left though glass door, immediately right and keep straight on to the edge of the building. There are not all that many taxis... I say this because the walk up the hill to the city, especially in summer, is awful and when you get to the top is the time to start exploring. You can always walk back down! Cost of taxi 6€ - well worth it! (2013)

This UNESCO heritage city is bursting with history, very important specially since the 16th century:

Alcala de Henares is an universitary city and there is also many good places for tapas, in most places for less than 3€ you get a drink with a big tapa of your choice.

You can get there in 40min from Atocha Station in Madrid.

Amazing jamon and good wine at a traditional tavern in front of the Royal Palace. Good prices, not too touristy.

May 15th is San Isidro festivity in Madrid. There is many things to do that day, one of them is to see the fireworks in the Retiro park, with their reflections in the big pond.
