Toledo, A world heritage city, it has demonstrated time and again that it knows how to coexist with its ancient past. What no one expected was that, all of a sudden, he would stand up transformed into Springfield, the unmissable yellow town of the Simpsons. This is what is happening … on social networks, where a video, currently without an author, recreates some of the most emblematic corners of the regional capital with the characters of the legendary animated series.
The result is as surreal as it is endearing: Homer Simpson acting as a tour guide in the Plaza de Zocodover, umbrella held high, as dictated by the canons of free tours, while explaining the advantages of the city.
The route continues through Puerta de Bisagra, where Catalino’s kiosk and churrería weave their way into this particular lively version, demonstrating that there are traditions that even Springfield can’t improve upon. Don’t miss a nod to the physical effort involved in visiting the historic center: Lisa and Bart appear at Puerta del Sol exhausted by the endless ups and downs that every visitor, and a good one to Toledo, knows very well.
The video does not forget the other local temples. The Ludeña bar, Santo Tomé’s workshopwith its irresistible window, where the station, symbol of arrivals and farewells, appears reinterpreted with the Matt Groening’s unmistakable style.
Even the bus station and the usual traffic jams of TO-23 have their moment of glory, because if anything characterizes the Simpsons, it is their ability to describe everyday lifeeven in Toledo.
This great initiative, which already has thousands of views and comments, shows that the city also knows how to laugh at itself and connect with new generations through pop culture. A mix between heritage, humor and social networks this makes Toledo, if only for a few seconds, the most monumental Springfield in the world.
