El Greco in Toledo
 
Can anyone tell me how to find the entrance to the El Grecoīs House? I have found the exit, but I and other turistos havenīt found the entrance.

Thanks,
Barbara

Hi Barbera

Are you still taking pseudoephedrine? 8}Why don't you ask someone there? :}}

No pseudoephedrine. I seem to have beat the cold before I got here, although I had a nasty headache last night.

I suppose I will get out my phrasebook, work out the question and then find someone to ask. Although if they really wanted people to come in, they should make it obvious.

Well maybe you should ask the people coming out of the exit. This is a joke, right?

Repeat after me:
POR DONDE SE ENTRA A LA CASA DEL GRECO?

It must be the cold meds. Toledo just isn't that large, or confusing.

My very bad!

I didnīt read the banner by the entrance to the casa. There are banners all over Toledo in front of museums and churches proclaiming something. They are all in Spanish and I havenīt been able to make much sense of them, so I didnīt bother to read the banner at the Casa del Greco. It is closed until Jan 2008 for remodling. It said they are turning it into a cultural space, which I take to mean that it will be a regular museum not done up like a house at that period. Which is too bad, since I wanted to see the house more than the Grecos, which have been moved to another museum for the duration.

The kicker is, the banner also has a english translation, which only confirmed what I had read in spanish.
