JEWISH TOUR IN MALLORCA - SPAIN
WE ARE ORGANIZING FACE-TO-FACE TOURS AGAIN!
JUDAIC TOURISM is a social project, carried out by members from local Jewish communities, with the mission of showing Jewish life in Central & South America cities and Worldwide.
As part of the NETWORK with members of Jewish communities in different cities, we offer tours and Jewish experiences around the world.
We would like to share an interesting proposal, carried out by our partners / fellow travelers of JEWISH MAJORCA.
Jewish Majorca was created to help revive the Jewish community of the Balearic Islands. They offer meetings, seminars and conferences to learn about the valuable and diverse Jewish history and culture.
The Jewish Tours offered are guided by active members of the current Jewish community.
During the tours, visitors can see the past, the present and imagine the future of Jewish life on the island. Participants will learn the stories of local Conversos and the secrets of their Jewish past.
Places to visit:
* Old Jewish quarter of Palma visiting its small Interpretation Center, where we will learn about the secret Jewish history of the island.
* Walk through narrow streets to hear stories about the Spanish Inquisition and its effects on the community that are still felt today.
* We will learn about the Chuetas (or Marranos), a group of Mallorcans who are descendants of the Crypto-Jews of the 16th and 17th centuries.
* The statue of Jafuda Cresques, the most famous Jewish cartographer in Palma, whose maps were searched and used by Christopher Columbus when he began sailing the Mediterranean Sea.
* Places where two old synagogues used to be.
* In addition, visitors will be able to learn about the amazing resurgence of the Jewish community today, where some descendants are returning to their Jewish roots after 500 years of hibernation and discrimination.
