WHAT WILL YOU DO?
Do you know the cultural Festival of Converts in Hervás? A street festival that will not leave you indifferent. This event divulges the history of Hervás during the period of coexistence of the Jewish and Christian communities and their legacy to the present day, through theatre, music and gastronomy.
Ana, official guide will make you relive the life of the Jews in the 15th century in Hervás and how it changed after the signing of the Edict of Expulsion of the Catholic Monarchs. You will visit the historic centre of the charming village of Hervás, entering the Jewish quarter, strolling through its narrow and bucolic streets, and admiring the church of San Juan Bautista whose foundation is due to a Jewish convert, a jewel of baroque art in Extremadura.
Ana will lead you to the heart of the festival of the converts, so that you can learn first-hand and at your own pace the history through a theatrical performance in an idyllic setting. One, two, three, the curtain opens on the banks of the Ambroz river!
