Jewish Tour Madrid - Express Walking Tour

I'll start us out with a historical introduction to both Spain's and Madrid's history, in the unofficial city center of Madrid (Puerta del Sol) where hundreds of locals and tourists pass by every day. I'll tell you about major events that took place here such as the bullfights and Autos da Fé (inquisition trials). As well as a popular market that offers tapas, and we'll talk about the influence of the Jewish people in Spanish food. We'll pass over the Sepharadic Center and talk about the current jewish community in Madrid and Spain. Then we go to see the walls of Madrid, where was located the old Jewish area before the inquisition days. Here we will talk about the past of the Jewish community and how and why the Inquisition started. We'll also enjoy one of the greatest views of Madrid and its surroundings. Further in our tour, we'll marvel at the beautiful Royal Palace, the biggest of its kind in Europe, as well as at Madrid's Opera House. The following itinerary could be customized upon request.
