Explore Spain vicariously through teen correspondent, Jill Santopolo's diary excerpts of her trip.

Today we went to Toledo. We saw two of the ten remaining Sephardic synagogues in Spain (Sephardic Jews are Jews from Spain or North Africa). One of the synagogues that we saw had been turned into a museum. The other was left as a tourist site, where we bought tickets to walk through the building. Cristina, our tour guide for the day, told us that after the Inquisition all synagogues had been turned into churches.
