SEGOVIA, TOLEDO, CHURROS, MANCHEGO CHEESE AND WINE!!!

It has been a ver special weekend visiting SEGOVIA and TOLEDO with these two couples from Philadelphia. With a tight agenda we were visiting the cities, learning history, some shopping and some kosher local food…. a great combination.

Abarbanel House was also in our itinerary and we all enjoy with crossed stories.

Hope to see you soon here.

“For a Jew who was living in the Jewish Quarter Gate of Lisbon, or to whom the priest consider, the value of hald a silver marco”
