Friendly Jewish tours of Barcelona and Spain
Jewish tours of Spain begin with Barcelona. In the past one hundred years more and more Jews have been migrating to Spain. Barcelona has a population of between 4 and 5 thousand Jews. Barcelona also has a wine co-op that has been producing kosher wine since 1993.
Of course Jewish heritage tours of Spain would include tours of the synagogues. Barcelona has two functioning synagogues; Cominidad Isrealita de Barcelona and Chabad of Barcelona. Of the two synagogues, Cominidad Isrealita is the more traditional. The city also has a restored medieval synagogue, dated to the eighth century.
Jewish tours of Spain may also include tours of Casa de Batllo (also known as Gaudi House) the house was redesigned in 1904 by Antoni Gaudi. The house is one of the most prestigious in Spain and became a museum in 1963. Audio tours are available for purchase in eight languages, some of these include English, Spanish, Italian, and Chinese. Another Gaudi design that you must see on Jewish tours of Spain is the La Sagrada Familia. Construction on this beautiful temple began in 1882 and it is estimated to take between 30 and 50 more years to complete.
