This is a fascinating place to visit. Previously hidden synagogue and small houses discovered during building works and restored as well as they could. The guides are very friendly and informative. We have been twice and the option of an English explanation has never been mentioned but obviously that doesn't mean they don't do it! We are fine with Spanish but it may not suit some foreign visitors. Well worth visiting.
Looks amazing but the opening times are very restrictive in the winter. It’s only open during the week and in the afternoons. We went to the outside but could not get in
Tours are at specific times (a time table is advertised). While we had to wait for the tour to start we got an 8 page booklet in English. But the tour was done in Spanish and you have to read the accompanying text in the booklet while the guide is rambling in Spanish and CLEARLY saying a lot more than was in the booklet. The booklet for each topic was about 5 lines which you can read quickly and then you have to stand around and wait until the guide finishes and you can move on. So if you don't speak Spanish the guide is useless basically. Why not do a tour in English?
The building is very small and underwhelming in my opinion. The trinkets on display were gifts apparently from the Jewish community but it looked more like a display kids would make for a show and tell in school.
The entrance price for this synagogue is way to high and not worth the price of admission due to the very poor guidance service. Skip it!
Really a cool place. The tour is informative and interesting and it’s really cool to discover this hidden secret place of worship and get an idea of what medieval Spain was like with the mixing of religions. Definitely recommend.
The short guided tour is full of numerous interesting facts that will take you back in time and by surprise! Don't miss it!
