The Heart of Portugal
Who would have thought that one country could offer so much!
In Portugal, old and new worlds meet in harmony, city and nature, Jewish history and modernity. This beautiful country offers a wealth of possibilities for vacationing for any taste, and we get a taste of each: the lively touristy coastal cities, magnificent protected nature reserves and of course – the highlight of the trip: getting to know the Portuguese “Jewish roots” and experiencing the tears and longing of descendants the Annusim. Prepare yourselves for an unforgettable experience.
The perfect location of the hotel midway between Porto in the north and Lisbon in the south and its proximity to the freeway makes it the ideal starting point for trips in any direction.

Monday Trip to TOMAR, OBIDOS, NAZARE
נתחיל את יומנו בביקור בעיר טומאר. בעקבות גרוש ספרד הגיעו יהודים רבים לטומאר והפכו למיעוט משמעותי בעיר. בהיותם בעלי מלאכה וסוחרים הם העשירו את העיר בתחומי פעילות חדשים. יש החושבים שתרומתם הייתה משמעותית להצלחת המסחר עם המושבות החדשות. אולם כבר ב 1497- שונתה המדיניות והיהודים אולצו להמיר את דתם. רבים מהם המשיכו לחיות בזהות כפולה כאנוסים, אחרים הצליחו לעזוב את פורטוגל . ניכנס למרכז העיר ונבקר בבית הכנסת העתיק ביותר בפורטוגל. נמשיך בסיור בעיירה אובידוש, כפר עתיק עם סמטאות ציוריות מימי הביניים ומוקף חומה. נקנח בכפר הדייגים נאזרה, הצופה אל האוקיאנוס האטלנטי.We will start our diary with a visit to the city of Tomar. Following the expulsion from Spain, many Jews came to Tomar and became a significant minority in the city. Being artisans and merchants they enriched the city with new areas of activity. Some think their contribution was significant to the success of trade with the new colonies. However, as early as 1497, the policy was changed and the Jews were forced to convert. Many of them continued to live in dual identities as rapists, others managed to leave Portugal. We will enter the city center and visit the oldest synagogue in Portugal. We will continue our tour in the town of Ovid, an ancient village with picturesque medieval alleys and surrounded by a wall. We will stop at the fishing village of Nazara, which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean.
