Sepharad, the Iberian Peninsula once inhabited by the Yehudim
The history of the Jews in the Iberian Peninsula, called Sepharad in the religious tradition of this people, left an indelible mark that lasts until today. Despite their tragic expulsion in 1492, the Jewish-Sephardic people expanded their diaspora around the world and with Embajadores de Málaga, we offer you to know what legacy they left in Andalusia during the historical period they lived in our land.
