What you can expect

Exploring Jewish Heritage in Girona in Girona - 2950907c6925cf3ee3c4a539740f2363

Embárquese conmigo en un viaje cautivador mientras profundizamos en la rica historia de la comunidad judía que prosperó en Girona durante seis siglos asombrosos, encapsulada dentro de los límites del famoso Barrio Judío, o "Call".

Durante este recorrido esclarecedor, descubrirás los misterios de dónde residían los judíos, las complejidades de su vida diaria e incluso descubrirás la ubicación de las tres sinagogas medievales, entre otras ideas fascinantes.

En Girona residió y ejerció la medicina el ilustre rabino y cabalista Nahmánides, conocido como el Ramban.

Girona tiene el estimado título de ser la "ciudad madre de Israel" y fue un centro fundamental de conocimiento espiritual estrechamente vinculado con la escuela de Cabalá.

Nuestro viaje nos llevará al Museo de Historia Judía, que alberga la colección de lápidas hebreas más importante de toda España. Además, te sorprenderá el último mikve (baño ritual) de la comunidad judía gironense, que permaneció en uso hasta la expulsión de 1492 y fue descubierto hace apenas nueve años.

Como guía certificado de Sefarad Rasgo y experto judío, me apasiona compartir mi amplio conocimiento de la herencia judía de Girona con mis invitados.

  3. Plaza Jurados

    Desde este punto podemos observar la montaña llamada "Montjuïc" donde fueron enterrados los judíos durante la época medieval.

    Después de los disturbios de 1391, muchos judíos fueron encerrados dentro de esta torre durante un período de 4 meses.

we had an enthusiastic and detail filled tour of girona’s jewish quarter with gemma. she went beyond delivering the usual facts making sure we had everything we needed for our physical, emotional, and intellectual comfort, and insisted on ensuring we didn’t get lost on our way back to barcelona. she didn’t miss a detail. we felt very well taken care of and like we had made a new life long friend. jewish girona with gemma—so great!

Gemma was so wonderful with helping plan the tour and all the extra touches for my wife and I as we were celebrating a wedding anniversary. Candles, chocolates and treats! She was great in giving us an informative introduction into Old Town, the history, and of course Game of Thrones sites. Her restaurant and tastings recommendations have been spot on as we continue to eat our way thru Girona. Between Gemma’s awesome tour and Girona FC winning their game, our day was perfecto!So many wonderful surprises

I have already sent these comments directly to Gemma, who was very knowledgeable and good at assisting my disabled husband. Overall, the tours were ok, but very overpriced. We understand that private tours are more expensive than group tours, but these were definitely overpriced.Overpriced!

We had a wonderful tour experience with Gemma in Girona Spain. She was very friendly and personable! She was very knowledgeable of the area and sites and we loved the Game of Thrones aspect to it. She got us a special treat on our tour and gave us a great lunch recommendation. Highly recommend Gemma! Great tour with Gemma!

Gemma adapted the tour to suit our active teenagers. We covered a lot of ground, with appropriate balance of educational content and fun. I especially appreciated that Gemma encouraged my kids to speak Spanish with her. Very fun tour!
