Information

Hear the stones whisper hundred of years of history. Learn about the Inquisition, forced conversions, and the emergence of the ‘Crypto-Jews. This visit includes all of the sites of the highlights tour as well as additional locations connected to Jewish heritage in Palma. You will learn about the Inquisition, forced conversions, and the emergence of the ‘Crypto-Jews’ who publicly professed Catholicism while privately adhering to Judaism. We will also visit the specific streets where the Xueta families have lived for centuries until as recently as the 1960s. Signs of this at-one-point marginalized community can still be found today with many of the current jewelry shops having been kept within their families for generations beforehand. Even the famous Mallorquin pastry, the “ensaimada” is specifically cooked with pork fat as a reaction to the centuries-old prejudice and discrimination.
