My mother would like to visit Spain. We plan to spend a week in Seville and a few days in Granada. We are debating whether or not to include Madrid. She wants to visit Toledo but she’s 88 years old and can’t walk up steep hills. Is there a way to visit Toledo on a day trip with her limitations?

Take a taxi from the train station to Zocodover Plaza. From it you can walk around much of the historic center. While there are some inclines you can avoid anything that is too steep. If there’s a place you want to visit that she is unable to navigate to, if she doesn’t mind, she could sit on a bench while you sightsee.

And for the return journey there is a cab rank in the same square. You can also call a radio taxi if you note the numbers in advance.

Dear N.
If you are careful, you might be able to enjoy Toledo without the steep inclines, but it honestly will be a challenge. What are you planning for Granada? The two most attractive areas in the city - the Alhambra and the Albaicyn - would require walking on steep and cobbled streets. Seville is much flatter.

Granada has a little tourist train that takes you all around Alhambra and Albaicin areas
