Nope; never been to any of the Jewish sites in Spain (unless you count looking at Palma cathedral from the outside).
The first time I went there, the Transito synagogue was incredibly depressing; it was presented as, there used to be this religion called Judaism that died out 500 years ago, and this is what historians think it was probably like. That freaked me the hell out,
I can imagine! I think you mentioned this to me before, but the name would have meant nothing to me at the time.
