El Sueño de Toledo
El Sueño de Toledo is the big evening show at Puy du Fou España. On a 5-hectare stage, 200 actors re-enact 1,500 years of Spanish history. The show lasts 70 minutes and in 2022 was named the best show in the world.
The story
At sunset on the banks of the Tagus, the young washerwoman María meets the old Azacán of Toledo. He takes her on a journey through time and lets her relive the great moments of Spanish history, with figures such as the taifa king Al-Mamun, Queen Isabella and Emperor Charles V.
From the time of King Recaredo to the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, from the discovery of America to the arrival of the railway: history sweeps across the city walls and through the depths of the river.
