It was a busy weekend in C\u00e1ceres but a very quiet Monday morning with few people on the streets and many of the museums and major sites closed. \u00a0We walked to nearby Botanicc Grand Cafe for good coffee and a bowl of yogurt with granola.<\/p>\n

After breakfast we picked up a few things at the Tambo Grocery Store. Just inside the front door is a display of freshly caught fish\u2026even though we are a bit far from the sea.<\/p>\n

After our errands were done, we set out for the Old Jewish Quarter<\/span><\/span><\/span> of C\u00e1ceres \u00a0(Barrio de San Antonio). It is described as a peaceful, centuries-old neighborhood of narrow cobbled streets and whitewashed houses hidden just behind the Moorish city walls.<\/p>\n

We visited the small chapel of The Ermita de San Antonio which stands on the site where the Jewish community’s early synagogue once stood. The original synagogue was demolished and this small chapel was built in its place around 1470 \u2014 roughly two decades before the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492.<\/p>\n

We visited ruins just outside the ancient city walls for excellent views of the modern city.<\/p>\n
