SOLD OUT
Introduction:
Andalucía was the first major Jewish centre in Spain and hosted a Golden Age of Jewish scholarship and creativity which leaves in mark on Jewish culture and tradition to this day. It is the last major European Jewish area that I have not covered in my trips. This will be 6 day multi-centre trip which will take in Granada, Lucena and Córdoba before spending a Shabbat with the Jewish community in Seville.
Although many have visited this area before, much of the Jewish heritage is hidden. I know that I can do a lot to bring the Jewish aspect of this area to life. Even if you have already visited you will not regret joining one of these journeys.
