50 Experiences to Enjoy in Spain

WANDER AROUND THE NARROW STREETS OF THE JEWISH QUARTER IN TOLEDO Toledo, the city of the three cultures, has been awarded the UNESCO World Heritage designation. Explore the city that for centuries was the spiritual and administrative centre of the Jewish community in the West. As you stroll through the narrow alleyways you can conjure up the supreme influence and power the Jews latterly enjoyed in this place. You'll see two of the most representative Mudejar monuments in Jewish Toledo in the Calle de los Reyes Católicos: The synagogue of Santa María La Blanca (13th century) with its impressive col umns; and the El Tránsito Synagoge (14th century), the home of the Se phardic Museum. Nearby, at the Travesía de la Judería, you'll find the Casa del Judío . Its court yard still conserves numerous works of carved plaster and in the basement you can visit a Jewish liturgical bath or miqva .
