2-hour private walking tour of Palma's Jewish Quarter

2-hour private walking tour of Palma's Jewish Quarter

Your private guide will lead you to the main sights in the city centre. We visit the statue of Jafuda ben Cresques, a 14th-century Jewish cartographer who created the world-famous Catalan Atlas, which Christopher Columbus may have used on his voyages. We'll walk along Leather Maker Street and learn about the old bakery called Can Miquel, which was in operation until recently and is known to have been built on the site of the 'Sinagoga Nova' or 'new synagogue.' We'll discuss the many secret traditions that crypto-Jews maintained to keep their faith alive as best they could, even under the ever-watchful eyes of the Inquisition.
