The historic Toledo lottery

The wood creaks, the day has arrived and the cold that wanders the streets tries to pass through the windows of the city. It is Wednesday, December 22, a date marked by the entire Spanish population in their calendar. The presence of fog takes center stage, behind it emerges the city of Toledo. It is the time of the most well-known lottery in Spain, the Christmas draw.

Statistics show that “el gordo” has fallen twenty-four times in Castilla-La Mancha, but that in none of these has the prize par excellence succumbed in the city of the capital. But what if the statistics lie? What if in reality the city of the three cultures is already awarded? The legends of Toledo are endless but its historical lottery is a reality.

The beauty of its cobbled alleys, the soul of its historic streets and the prestigious views from its apartments and viewpoints are the best numbers of the most precious tenth you can buy. This lottery does not need any kind of award, but simply, to live it. The draw is over, the sun appears in the Plaza de Zocodover enlivening the Toledo Christmas morning, and yes, as every year, it has been a success.
