Primary sources reveal that Jews and Christians were allowed to live side-by-side in Spain. While there were periods of cooperation and coexistence, there were also times of tension and conflict, particularly during transitions in political power and during the Reconquista. However, in many instances, Jews had the freedom to practice their religion and maintain their communities alongside Christians in medieval Spain.
