Why go
This route suits travelers who want to spend most of the day in the west side of the old town. Begin indoors with El Greco, then give the former synagogue and its Sephardic displays proper time. Paseo del Tránsito provides a pause outside before the light filled arcades of Santa María la Blanca. The bridge makes a natural finish, with the river and city walls in view. These places sit near one another, so the day is shaped by the visits rather than long transfers. The museums and historic buildings may keep different schedules; check them before setting out and leave room for a meal in the quarter.
