The world still feels like it's under lockdown, with most of the population told to stay at home. However, despite the dire situation, it’s still important to look to the future. In time, this pandemic will end, and it will be safe to travel far and wide again. The economy will heal and friends and family can gather together once more without fear of infection.
One way to orient oneself towards a positive outlook is by mapping out one’s plans for the future, whether it's to get oneself a new car, set up one’s own business (when it’s possible to, of course) or complete a travel itinerary. If you’re inclined towards Kosher Europe tours, here’s a few great travel destinations that you can add to your future travel itinerary.
Salamanca, Spain
Plaza Mayor
Salamanca is an old university city in Spain, home of one of the oldest universities in the West. While ostensibly a Christian city that attracts hundreds of international students each year, Salamanca, like most of the major cities in Spain, has a Jewish quarter, along with other remnants of Sephardic Jewish heritage. Salamanca was also the birth city of Abraham Zacuto, whose contributions to astronomy helped explorers like Vasco de Gama map the stars and chart paths across the sea.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Canal City
Amsterdam is well known for many things. As the capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam is a bustling city of artistry, commerce and learning. It was also once the safe haven of Sephardic Jews who fled Spain following the 1492 Expulsion. Here, they found relative prosperity and rebuilt their commercial and cultural advancements, to the point that they even had a printing press. Amsterdam was also the home of Jewish diarist Anne Frank, whose legacy is preserved in the Anne Frank House in the innermost part of the city. If you’re interested in a future Glatt Kosher tour of Europe, be sure to add Amsterdam to your list.
