What the text is about

A weekend in Toledo

You are about to read a story about a weekend trip to Toledo, an old Spanish city near Madrid: how a young woman got there, what she saw, and what she liked. Almost everything is told in the pretérito indefinido (the preterite); the first sentence is in the present tense — that is how you talk about a habit. Two phrases to help you read: • hice un viaje — I took a trip • dimos un paseo — we took a walk
