As you journey through the city’s historic heart, you'll explore sites from the outside that still whisper tales of a once-thriving community. Starting at the picturesque Plaza de Oriente, your Expert Guide will share stories of the old Jewish quarter that once lay nearby, where the Jewish community first settled. Moving on, the magnificent Catedral de Santa María la Real de la Almudena stands on the grounds of what was once the new Jewish quarter, reflecting a time when the city was shaped by diverse cultures and the impacts of the Spanish Inquisition.

As you continue, you’ll pause at the Centro Sefarad Israel, a cultural centre that keeps the memory of Spain’s Jewish heritage alive, focusing on the Sephardic legacy that endured despite centuries of challenge. The walk then leads you to Calle del Salitre, where beneath the surface lies a possible Jewish cemetery, a silent reminder of the past. The tour concludes at San Lorenzo, where a synagogue once stood, marking the resilience and enduring faith of the Jewish people in Madrid.
