Book now the Jewish Girona Free Tour
The call , as the Jewish neighborhoods in Catalonia are called, is one of the best preserved in Europe.
On this tour we will discover why the Jews settled in the city of Girona a thousand years ago. We will walk through its alleys and talk about its tortuous history, from its beginning to the present day.
The tour will go through the old town of Girona and we will thoroughly explore the limits of the Jewish quarter. This tour covers the entire call , an extension that is not excessively large but is dense in history.
For this reason, we will tell the secrets of the Kabbalah, we will talk about the famous stolen streets and we will seek to understand the complexity of the events that first led to the formation of the ghettos, then to the pogroms and finally to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain by of the Catholic Monarchs.
In addition, we will narrate important legends of the Jews who lived in the area, and how their customs took root in places as disparate as the Arab baths or the Montjuïc mountain.
