Discover Jewish Portugal as we travel through the memory of a Jewish past. Uncover the riches of that time in history. Let us guide you for eight days traveling through the heart of soul of Jewish Portugal, searching for Jewish roots.
We will base our tour and cultural visits on Beiras Jewish heritage and how this has been the meeting place of three great cultures and religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
From the end of the 15th century, persecutions, convictions, and forced conversions destroyed these Jewish communities. They became “New Christians” and continued to honor their religion in the secrecy of their homes and orally pass on the prayers resisting assimilation.
This trip is a close look at a heritage of great value. It is not always visible because of multiple destructions and pressures, but we are gradually discovering it.
But we want also to extend your experience of the local culture, history, and gastronomy. So this will be a tour where you will get to know the locals and the culture in this North/Center area of Portugal. So we have prepared unique experiences for you all along the way.
