Barrio Santa Cruz: the most legendary neighborhood of Seville

If everyone is talking about it, there must be a reason: the Santa Cruz neighborhood is the most intimate and legendary of Seville's districts due to its incredible density of views, colors, and stories of real characters or those born from popular imagination. An ancient Jewish quarter with Arab influences, it has reached our days with a labyrinthine network of tiny alleys that hide surprises at every corner. Let me guide you through this maze of inspirations where, following in the footsteps of Don Giovanni, Murillo, Carmen, or Saint Teresa, we can breathe in the scent of the most historic Seville!

Starting from Plaza del Triunfo with the wonderful backdrop of the cathedral and the Alcázar, among other things, we will see together:

- the devil's railing

- the street of kisses

- remains of the Arab walls and aqueduct

- the narrowest streets of Seville, where we will take turns to pass

- a courtyard of the Alcázar, the site of the legendary love stories of Al-Mutamid and Itimad

- the smallest door in Seville

- access to the medieval Jewish quarter

- the places of the mythical Don Giovanni

- the Santa Cruz square that gives the neighborhood its name

- the serenade balcony from "The Barber of Seville"

- the square of the three crosses

- the only surviving synagogue (Santa María la Blanca)

- the historic Hospital de los Venerables Sacerdotes

and we will talk about traditions, flamenco , and popular life.
