Jewish Barcelona:
A Heritage Walk
A Heritage Walk
A 3-hour private walking tour through the Gothic Quarter and Barcelona’s historic Jewish neighborhood, El Call, led by your expert Jewish guide.
Discover the Jewish Story Behind Barcelona’s Ancient Streets
This tour leads you through the former Jewish neighborhood of Barcelona - a small area in the Gothic Quarter full of history and memory.
We’ll walk its narrow streets and talk about the people who once lived here: rabbis, poets, craftsmen, merchants.
You’ll learn what their community contributed to the city, what has survived, and what has disappeared.
We’ll look at why this quarter stood beside the royal palace, how Jews managed their relationship with the Crown and the Church, and what everyday life was like inside these walls.
You’ll also hear about Jewish scholars, internal challenges, and how this neighborhood fit into the larger world of Jewish life in medieval Spain.
And we will speak about Jewish women, whose voices were often hidden but whose role was essential.
This walk helps you understand how Jewish Barcelona once thrived and how its legacy is still felt today.
