Start this tour in the original core of the city of Porto, next to the pilory in front of the Cathedral. Follow the directions of the expansion of the city, getting to know the places marked by the jewish presence and the contribution of this community to the development of this mercantile city in the first centuries of the country foundation. From Pena Ventosa till Ribeira, imagine yourself in the medieval city, whilst you walk through the oldest streets and see what is left of the city walls and other medieval buildings. Find out also the role that the
jews took during the discoveries and how three centuries of inquisition tried to erase theirpresence. Know the places of the old jewish quarters and how these are still imprinted in the city nowadays.
End up this tour appreciating a nice view to the river.

Ricardo was a most excellent guide. He wove the history of the Jewish people with the history of the Portuguese. Not many artifacts physically remain, but his factual narrative made it all relevant. He is passionate about this tour. We highly recommend you ask for Ricardo!
