Jewish Spain

The Kosher Travel Club, a joint production of Eddie's Travel and Shai Bar Ilan Geographical Tours, invites you to a country with a checkered history. Spain is an example of a kingdom that managed to extricate itself from economic disaster and partial ostracism by the other countries of Europe and changed into a leading country of the European Union.

Spain is considered the world's leading country in foreign tourism (about 60 million foreign tourists annually) – blessed with people who come to visit its famous sites or relax on the golden beaches of the Costa Brava or the Costa del Sol. To us, Spain is important for other reasons: the rich Jewish history of Catalonia, Andalusia and the city of Toledo is firmly planted in our national psyche – mainly because of the Spanish Inquisition in the late 15th century. We will visit the main sites connected to the Jewish history of Spain, as well as some of the primary sites that attract tourists from all over the world
