Jose (the driver) was a very nice guy, but we definitely got off on the wrong foot with him. Like all tourist drivers and guides the world over, he suffers from an obsession with getting kickbacks from souvenir sellers. Even though you're paying a ridiculous fee, then giving a huge tip, every driver and guide devotes most of their time figuring out how they can get you into a souvenir shop, carpet store, jeweler etc so they can get a commission. Jose was no exception, so the minute we arrived in this beautiful city he drove right up to a shop selling steel swords and other metal stuff. Apparently that's a special skill of Toledo, but it still doesn't mean I want it, and it's certainly not the first thing I want to do when I get to a new place. So we ducked into the shop, wandered around then fled, whereupon Jose tried to take us to another sword store, not understanding that we weren't unhappy with the sword selection at the first store, but rather with the whole idea of buying swords. We convinced Jose that we wanted to see the cathedral first, which conveniently has eight different entrances, so we were able to sneak out and lose him for the rest of the day.
