We had a wonderful morning with Teresa on Friday, May 20. She shared many facts about Barcelona and, of course, about Jewish history here. We loved seeing some secret places in shops. Teresa was so friendly that we feel we’re somehow related! I would definitely tell my friends to contact you for tours in Barcelona.
Our walking Tour with Dina was absolutely fantastic! She shared a wealth of knowledge and information that was fascinating and enjoyable! It was an excellent Jewish tour and she gave us additional information about the areas history that was a bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our two hours with her and we would definitely do it again on our next trip back. She was great!!
Barcelona Dreaming offered one of the best tours on our recent trip to Spain. We originally had a few couples going on this tour of the Jewish quarter. When they cancelled out, Barcelona Dreaming arranged to include us with two others to form a small walking tour. The tour was supposed to be 2 hours, but our guide Adi did not rush and with all the information and stories about each site, it ran almost 3 hours. After several tours that week, I believe Adi was the most prepared and knowledgeable of any guide we used. If you have the time this is a great tour.
Our 2-hour walk with Adi was a real pleasure. He was so informative and friendly and has a great sense of humor! We enjoyed it thoroughly and will definitely do a review on Tripadvisor. Please thank him again and we wish you both a happy Pesach!
Just wanted to say thank you for your interesting tour on Tuesday, we really enjoyed it. We are leaving shortly for Venice and will have fond memories of our stay in Barcelona.
Yitzy and I much enjoyed our tour last week! Our two days gave us a little flavor of the great city you live in. Your knowledge gave us great insight into the history of Barcelona. Hope to be back soon.

Discover the brilliance of Barcelona's Sephardic Heritage carved into the very stones of its Jewish Quarter
The Jewish Heritage Experience
2 or 4 hours
Jonathan's tour of Barcelona's Jewish Quarter is fascinating."
Richard Eilers, Travel Writer
Discover the brilliance of Barcelona's captivating Jewish past & present
With a mystique all its own, the history of barcelona's el call , or medieval jewish quarter, can be found carved into its very stones - you just have to know where to look. once pious, dense and bustling, the quarter's quiet backstreets are testament to a glorious past..
What to expect?
A fascinating street by street exploration of El Call illuminates everyday life in medieval Barcelona at a time the Jewish population accounted for 10% of the city. Who they were, where they came from, where they went and what legacy they left Sephardic Jewry and Spain at large are a few of the questions we address. Our discovery reveals how the medieval Jewish community lived, the professions they practiced, the contributions made to medieval Catalan society and their relationship to the non-Jewish world. A story, like so many others, of exile, faith and belonging.
The Golden Age of Jewish culture in medieval Barcelona directly coincided with the expansion of the Catalan crown throughout the Mediterranean resulting in as many sites of Jewish significance located outside the medieval Jewish Quarter as within.
What's included?
Visit "La Sinagoga Mayor" medieval synagogue, unique in all of Europe, marvel at storybook plazas Felip Neri and Plaza del Rey and gain insight into what life was like leading up to the community's fateful expulsion as well as what a budding Jewish cultural life looks like in contemporary Barcelona after 500 years of silence.

Barcelona: Jewish Heritage Tour
- Description
- Additional information
For nearly a thousand years Barcelona’s Jewish quarter was a lively and important part of the city. In recent years the importance of the Jewish cultural legacy has been brought to light. So join us on our Barcelona Jewish Heritage Tour to discover how much we can learn from the stones and streets of the “Call” (Jewish Quarter).
Highlights of our Barcelona Jewish Heritage Tour
The Jewish Quarter, or “Call”, is a labyrinth of streets, squares and stone buildings in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. This should not surprise anyone because the Jewish population played an integral part in the development of the city. However, by examining the streets and buildings with our guides, you will discover the roots that extend to the origins of the city.
Historical Sites
Start with a visit to The Oldest Synagogue in Spain . The former main Synagogue proves the early presence, as far back as Roman times. Even though many historians chose to ignore their role, the streets and stories we discover on the Barcelona Jewish Heritage tour show just how important the community was. Additionally, this visit explains the original layout of the Jewish Quarter.
Another mandatory stop is the Jewish Heritage Museum. Here you find the archaeological remains of a house from the time period. Unearth the legends and history of the Barcelona Jewish Quarter. Then learn about some of the most important members of the community. After that explore the importance of the Disputation of Barcelona, one of the most important 13th century public debates.
Finally, head out of the “ Call Major ” (main Jewish Quarter) and visit the expansion, or “ Call Menor “. The presence of the Jews in Barcelona for over 1000 years was felt beyond the borders of their walls. Uncover the other roles the Jewish community played in Medieval society. Of course, the Jewish Heritage tour must include the Inquisition , its origins and implications. And now, over 500 years after the Inquisition, discover how Barcelona’s Jewish community has risen again.

Revisiting jewish heritage in barcelona and the memory of sepharad.
During the Middle Ages Jewish life flourished in Sepharad as perhaps nowhere else. Jews were integrated, in the Call of Barcelona, the juderias of Cordoba and Toledo; in the cabalistic circles of Gerona or as advisors and physicians to kings.
With the Edict of expulsion of 1492, Jews were faced with a stark choice: leave or convert to Catholicism, and only some of these conversos continued to practice their tradition in hiding. Although most of the Jewish legacy was lost, one can revisit the rich culture and history while walking the streets where Jews once lived.
Once again , Jewish life blooms in Barcelona and other cities, with celebrations of B'nei mitzvah, Shabbat and the High Holidays, Film Festival, Hebrew study and new works of art.
Since 1997 Urban Cultours organizes Jewish tours in Barcelona as well as programs focused on past and present Jewish life, and helps plan events with authentic Jewish content for visitors from all over the world and for locals.
Urban Cultours project adds to initiatives that enrichen our culture and tradition, contributing to the continuity, development and promotion of Jewish identity.

Jewish Heritage & History in Spain Tour
Expert guides, luxury vehicles.
Spain is home to a deeply rooted Jewish history, with evidence of Sephardic Jews (sometimes referred to as Sephardi Judaism or Hispanic Judaism) living here dating back to a 2nd-century gravestone found in the city of Merida.
Guests can wander through old Juderías (Jewish neighborhoods), where Spanish Jews lived until the inquisition in 1492. Alongside medieval synagogues and sites of significance to the Jewish diaspora, we will also ensure your private tour takes you to the major cultural, historical, and architectural wonders that Spain has to offer.
Highlights of Our Jewish Spain Tour
We provide complimentary customized itineraries to our clients to ensure that we have designed the perfect tour for them before they consider booking. Your personal tour planner will be in touch to discuss which locations you may have a special connection with and to provide their expert local knowledge to create the best experience possible for you, tailored exactly to your tastes.
Below is a succinct description of some of the most popular cities and sites in Spain with significant Jewish heritage and artifacts for you to visit with your private guide.
Barcelona: An Ancient City, With A Rich Jewish Past
The 2000-year-old city was once home to four synagogues. Here the Judería is called El Call, and there are still Hebrew letters on some of the neighborhood’s buildings. Part of the famous Gothic Quarter, the main synagogue in El Call is said to be one of Europe’s oldest. It has since been restored and is now open to visitors.
One of Barcelona’s most popular sites, Montjuic, translates to Jewish mountain. This is due to the Jewish cemetery that you can visit. You can also take a cable car from Montjuic to enjoy amazing views over the city and bay.
The Jewish Quarter of Girona
Girona, north of Barcelona has one of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in all of Spain.
In the heart of the Judería is a new Sephardic heritage cultural site that recreates Sephardic Spain through art, music, and gastronomical events. This was where the synagogue once was. Today there is even a Catalan Museum of Jewish Culture containing a library with many medieval Jewish manuscripts. A beautiful small city, Girona is a must for travelers wishing to explore Jewish Spain.
Legend has it that some of the families expelled in 1492 boarded up their homes believing they would return one day. The Catholics did not want to unearth these homes, out of fear that the authorities might mistake them for being Jewish and expel them too.
Toledo: The “Jerusalem of The West”
Travelers to Toledo can visit two synagogues: Synagogue El Tránsito and the Synagogue of Santa Maria La Blanca. The former houses a small Sephardic museum and the latter has some of Spain’s most beautiful Mudéjar arches. In the early middle ages, Moors, Christians, and Jews even co-existed here.
Toledo is close to the “new Spanish capital” which we would suggest should be your next stop on this tour of Jewish Spain.
The Royal City - Madrid
While there is no direct Sephardic architecture in Madrid, it is worth a day to see the amazing Royal Palace and world-class art collections of El Prado and the Reina Sofia.
There’s currently a small Jewish community in Madrid. If you’d like to visit one of the synagogues or cultural centers, we can personally contact them for you in advance to arrange it.
Segovia Walking Tour
Revisit unforgettable Segovia’s Jewish past with a walking tour of the city’s magical old quarter.
Although it is full of Roman influences, Segovia was home to one of Spain’s most important Jewish communities and your private guide will reveal all of the secrets that the ancient walls hold. There is also a huge Roman aqueduct and a castle that apparently inspired the castle seen in the introduction to Walt Disney productions!
Tour of Jewish Cordoba
Famous for the “peppermint-styled arches” ancient Córdoba has a rich Sephardic heritage.
All of the sites are in the Judería, or old Jewish neighborhood, in very close proximity to the Mezquita. Wander the narrow alleyways, which are usually so alive and colorful with Cordoba’s signature flowers adorning them.
You will not want to miss the old Córdoba synagogue, in mudéjar-style architecture but with Hebrew writing. Torah scholar and philosopher, Moses ben Maimon, commonly known as Maimonides, was from Cordoba. You can find a statue dedicated to him in the middle of the small plaza named for him, Plaza Maimonides, pictured above).
Now there are many things to do in Cordoba, Spain that bring the city’s Jewish history to life. Although many cities in Spain once had a large Jewish population, the history of Jews in Spain feels most accessible to visitors in Cordoba.
Sephardic Seville
Andalucía’s capital city, Seville had a wealth of Sephardic history and colonial gold from the New World. The first Jews arrived way before that. Possibly as early as the 5th century BC, so there is a lot of history in this port city, which is only an hour from the Atlantic.
From trouble with the Visigoths to returning to Seville living (somewhat) peacefully with the Moors up until about 100 years before the inquisition. In 1391, the Judería was attacked and nearly 4,000 of Sevilla’s Jewish population was killed. Barrio Santa Cruz, which is popular with visitors to Seville today, for its quaint streets and proximity to the cathedral and Alcazar, was the Judería. And it is the largest Judería on the Iberian peninsula.

There were over 100 Jews in Barcelona in 1918, while in 1932, the figure rose to more than 3,000, mostly of Sephardi origin. After 1933, some German Jews established ribbon, leather, and candy industries. By 1935, Barcelonan Jewry numbered over 5,000, the Sephardim by now being a minority.
