Jewish Barcelona:
A Heritage Walk
A Heritage Walk
A 3-hour private walking tour through the Gothic Quarter and Barcelona’s historic Jewish neighborhood, El Call, led by your expert Jewish guide.
The Hidden Heart of Barcelona: A Walk Through El Call
This walk offers a thoughtful journey into Barcelona’s Jewish past.
We’ll follow the narrow streets of El Call, the former Jewish Quarter, and talk about the people who shaped this community - rabbis, poets, craftsmen, merchants, and the Jewish women whose roles were essential, even if their voices were often left unrecorded.
Along the way, we’ll explore how this small neighborhood lived side-by-side with the royal palace, how Jews navigated their relationship with the Crown and the Church, and what daily life looked like within these walls.
You’ll learn about scholars, community debates, moments of growth and hardship, and how El Call fit into the wider world of Jewish life in medieval Spain.
This walk doesn’t focus only on names and dates.
We look at the places that remain, the stories carried through the stones, and the legacy that still shapes Barcelona today.
