Following a chronological line, the lifetime of the Jews in the Iberian Peninsula was made of ups and downs, this 3 hours walking tour encompasses their story, life and ancient remnants in Porto. Start your tour at the Cathedral's old quarter and visit the street where one of the synagogues was located. Afterwards, move to the Miragaia quarter & notice that the people of the Great Diaspora tried to adapt to the Christians' lifestyle by working alongside with them, with a huge proximity to the river Douro.
