We will walk down Leather Maker Street and learn about the old bakery named Can Miquel that up until recently was still in use and is known to be built on the site of the “sinagoga nova” or the “new synagogue.” We will discuss the many secret traditions that the Crypto-Jews maintained to keep their faith alive as best as possible, even under the ever-watchful eyes of the Inquisition.

Itinerary

Palma de Mallorca

We will be able to visit the statue of Jafuda ben Cresques, a 14th century Jewish cartographer who made the world-famous Catalan Atlas map that Christopher Columbus might have used in his travels. We will walk down Leather Maker Street and learn about the old bakery named Can Miquel that up until recently was still in use and is known to be built on the site of the “sinagoga nova” or the “new synagogue.” We will look for signs and clues hidden within the walls and street names that reference a once prominent Jewish past. Together we will admire a mural that was recently painted during the pandemic highlighting a well-documented history of lust and conflict that took place between two Jews in the Tower of Love during the 1300s. We will also visit the site of the main synagogue where the Montesion Church now stands and walk down the Street of the Wind where you may find something surprising.

Juan C. Led a very interesting tour through the ancient Jewish quarter in Palma. We learned for the first time about the xueta community in maillorca. Thank you!

Wonderful Jewish Walking Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

I have not stopped talking about the Wonderful Jewish walking tour I had with Lovely Knowledgeable Cristina from Jewish Majorca two weeks ago. The founder of the company, Dani Rotstein, kept in contact with me before the tour to make sure that I had all the necessary contact information and after the tour for a sneak peek at the Incredible documentary he has put together about this Important history. The two hours with Cristina flew by while she painted a clear picture of the very sobering history of the Jewish people in general and specifically the story of the Mallorcan Conversos and Chuetas through the Middle Ages on this well-paced, organized, fascinating tour. I Love that despite the harrowing, horrifying history, there is now a Jewish presence in Mallorca today, more than 500 years post expulsion. Dani Rotstein and Jewish Majorca have done an Amazing job of gathering this information and arranging these tours to “fight ignorance and intolerance” by educating the world about the Jewish, Converso, and Chueta culture, heritage, and history in Mallorca.

Above and Beyond

Published on Nov, 2024

WE have done many a walking tour and several specifically Jewish tours but this was absolutely the best of them all. Our guide was engaging and a brilliant communicator with an incredibly detailed grasp of his subject. Many walking tours are somewhat “canned” with limited content and no context but not this time! One would think there would be little to present with a subject population and timeframe as limited as this but the volume of information was incredible. I truly believe we didn’t miss a thing. Don’t miss this opportunity to really learn something(s) new.

Amazing

A very interesting tour spiced with great humor, beautiful stories and a lot of valuable information. Highly recommended!

Amazing walking tour of Jewish Majorca!

Published on Oct, 2024

We took this tour 2 days ago and it was SO wonderful. We were greeted by Dani with his big energy and even bigger smile! The walking tour was just my husband and me and Dani which was awesome. We learned so much about the secret Jews of Majorca. What a sad and amazing history. We highly recommend Jewish Majorca to Jews and non-Jews alike. You will learn so much. Thank you Dani!
