Departure to Tarazona. Visit of the jewry. The buildings that remain today are posterior to the reconstruction of Tarazona at the end of the 14th Century, after the great war with Castille. In fact, two different quarters can be distinguished: the Judería Vieja, or old quarter, and the Judería Nueva, that is, the extension of the old Jewish quarter in the 15th. century. After the expulsión in 1492, all this habitat received the new name of "barrio nuevo" (new quarter). Lunch in Restaurant Saboya 21. After lunch, continuation to Tudela. The town of Tudela was founded by the Romans on Celt-Iberian settlements. Since then the town has been inhabited continuously. The Roman poet Marcus Valerius Martialis (Epigrams Book IV, 55) "recalls in grateful verse" the town of Tutela next to his own native Bilbilis. The city was later taken under the Muslim emirate of Al-Hakam I in 802 by Amrus ibn Yusuf al-Muwalad. The Jews were banished in 1498 (the expulsion from Navarre being slightly later than in the rest of Spain). Muslims and Moriscos were expelled in 1516 and 1610 respectively. There are still examples of Islamic-influenced architecture in the city - the style the Spanish call Mudéjar; but the principal mosque was turned over to the Church in 1121, and by the end of the 12th century construction of the cathedral had begun. In Tudela lived three Ilustrious Jewis figures, such as, Benjamin of Tudela, Abraham Ibn Ezra and Yehudah Ha Levi. Dinner and accomodation in Tudela, hotel Aire de Bárdenas

Departure to Calahorra, with a stop at Estella: Estella was founded in 1090 by king Sancho Ramírez, on the same grounds as the Basque village of Lizarra. The fact that Estella was initially devised as a rest place for those pilgrims heading towards Santiago de Compostela, accounts for the rich heritage of Romanesque buildings from the 11th and 12th century which can still be found. During the second half of the 12th century, coinciding with the arrival of the Francs and their trade activities, which also involved the welcoming of pilgrims, an important number of Jews settled in Estella and made of it an important Jewry centre. Estella’s aljama, known as Elgacena, was one of the most important Jewries in Navarra, after Tudela and Pamplona. The prosperous Jewish community co-existed peacefully with its Christian neighbours until the beginning of the 14th century. Lunch in Estella, a local restaurant After lunch, continuation to Calahorra The first document recording the presence of a Jewish community in Calahorra dates from the end of the 11th century. Some Jewish families with the surnames Calahorra and Calahora, descendants of those families expelled in 1492, were documented in Crakow (Poland) in the 16th and 17th centuries. The great amount of documents related to the buying and selling and the renting of rural properties can give us an idea of the great purchasing power of this Jewish community. Calahorra’s Jews were peasants, tradesmen and craftsmen. However, it has also been documented the presence of Jewish physicians, landlords and income collectors.
