Routes of Sefarad
A journey in time through Jewish Spain
For many centuries, until 1492, the Iberian Peninsula was a mosaic
of peoples, cultures and religions. The presence until this time
of Jewish communities embellished the urban geography of Spain,
specially in Castilla y León. These communities developed
their own culture, practised their customs and their religion
and went about their social life in close contact with both Christian
and Arab communities. The wealth left by this reality is a common
inheritance, a collective heritage of many of Spain´s peoples.
The Routes of Sefarad are a suggested journey through the most
notable Jewish quarters.
