Free tour of the Macarena neighborhood

The Macarena neighbourhood is a mix of tradition and modernity and is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque in Seville. A neighbourhood that is constantly being renovated.

We will begin at the Hospital de las Cinco Llagas - today the Parliament of Andalusia -, of great beauty and full of stories such as that of the ghost of Sister Ùrsula, or those mothers of good death, and without forgetting the fascinating legend that surrounds the origin of the Virgin of Hope Macarena and a suitcase.

We will visit the Macarena Wall with its winding layout ,

Next we will enter the Basilica of Esperanza Macarena , which today remains the most praised in Seville and is of universal devotion.

We will have the opportunity to see the oldest churches in the city - Churches of San Gil, Santa Marina, San Marcos... all built on the foundations of ancient Muslim mosques , and striking for preserving the ancient minaret and sebka panels like the Giralda.

We will take a look at the last coal mine in Seville , a very unique corner. We will discover the Palace of the Marquises of Algaba - today the Mudejar Art Centre. We will cross the famous Market on Calle Feria - the oldest market in Seville - a must-see stop to see the local products, and with luck we will be able to walk through the Thursday market .

We will have “Macarena joy” in the Alameda de Hércules , one of the favourite leisure areas of Seville's inhabitants. We will visit another hidden gem of Seville, San Luis de los Franceses , with Solomonic columns like those of Bernini in the Vatican. And we will make a pleasant stop in Seville's Plaza de Montesión , where the old "regatonas" sold all kinds of products.

We will not miss the Corralones of the neighborhood , places of pure craftsmanship where even trades that are almost in danger of extinction are practiced. And from there to the Plaza de Santa Isabel , which for many is the most beautiful in Seville , and where the house of Tomasin, the Nazarene ghost of the convent of Santa Isabel, awaits us.

As if that were not enough, we will end in a small Alcázar filled with the light of Seville... It is the palace where I was born, -verses by Antonio Machado-. Palacio de las Dueñas and its beautiful gardens .

La Macarena is that neighborhood where history embraces you, flamenco invites you to a "quejío" and tapas make you lose count... Here art is in the streets and even the saints have their charm!
