Hey everyone! I'm going to come to Spain for about a week in April with a small group from my high school. I have heard that the country was very religious and in many different religions, (if that makes any sense). Anyhow, one of the people heading up this trip told us all to save our money for Toledo, becuase it's supposedy "a shopping mecca". In Toledo, how easy would it be to find high-quality souveniers based on the Catholic religion, regardless of price? Where would be the best stores to fnd them? Thanks!

Probably the Cathedral gift shop, just like here. I loaded down with goodies when I visited the Catedral in Santiago, in fact they had two gift shops, one near the entrance and one near Platerias street, but I digress, I am sure that you will find plenty of religious icons in Toledo, and the Catedral de Toledo/ Toledo cathedral does have a gift shop, also in nearby Santa Isabel street which borders with the cathedral there are many small shops selling religious icons, rosaries, crucifixes, etc.

Try Madrid city centre, too, just near La Plaza Mayor that I�m sure you�ll like (you might have seen pics in this web) There are many religious shops there, especially in la calle Mayor. Have a look but I would recomend you any other common souvenirs shops!
