Portugal Travel Choices
Jewish travel to Portugal including Spain
Our Jewish travel to Portugal options are among the many possibilities for Jewish travel on the Iberian Peninsula.
The Jewish presence in Iberia has existed long before Portugal itself became a country. The contribution of Portuguese Jews to the arts, philosophy, commerce and sciences helped create the rich cultural heritage of this nation. Though most of us are familiar with the Jewish history of Spain, few know that many victims of the Inquisition fled to Portugal, where they survived until Catholic persecution followed them there. Fewer still are aware that Portugal is a current treasury, not only of Jewish history, but of a thriving and contemporary Portuguese-Jewish revival.
With this in mind, we have created 3 different tours, each with its own identity. Common for all 3 tours is that you will travel (in luxury) and see various expressions of Jewish Culture and History among other Portuguese world-class sites.
