This historic street, also called Santo Tomás, was one of the entrances to the old Jewish quarter of Toledo. Throughout its tour, the visitor will find ceramic plaques with Jewish symbols that recall the Sephardic past of the neighborhood. Before arriving at the famous Church of Santo Tomé, some curiosities stand out, such as a tile replica of El Greco's The Burial of the Count of Orgaz and a Crucified Christ in the middle of the street, protected by a small wooden roof and accompanied by a candle that never goes out. In addition, Toledo is the birthplace of marzipan, so there are many shops dedicated to this traditional sweet.

Legend has it that marzipan was created in the convent of San Clemente during a famine caused by Almohad attacks in the twelfth century. With the few ingredients available—almonds and honey—the people of Toledo would have made this "maza bread" to feed themselves. Although the current version has sugar, this ingredient did not become popular in Spain until the sixteenth century with the trade routes to America. The first written recipe dates from 1520 and was collected by Ruperto de Nola in his Book of stews, delicacies and stews.
