The “Three Cultures” neighborhood—a must-see
A tour of Seville’s most charming neighborhood
Why take this tour?
Because this is the Jewish quarter. You’ll discover the history of the Sephardic community, which lived in these streets for centuries, but whose history is hard to appreciate without a guided tour.
Because it is a place of legends, anecdotes, operas, and literature. It is the setting for the famous Don Juan Tenorio, The Barber of Seville, and Washington Irving, among others. And all of this is intertwined with monuments and the history of Muslims, Jews, and Christians.
Why take this tour with me?
Unlike large group tours, you’ll have a professional guide all to yourself. It will be a more personalized tour, and you’ll be able to ask as many questions as you like, since I’ll be at your complete disposal.
You’ll be supporting high-quality, more sustainable tourism in Seville, while also ensuring that your guide has the historical knowledge needed to lead the tour.
What you’ll do
- We will begin by explaining the origins of the area we will be covering and placing it in both time and space. In this way, we will lay the groundwork for our tour.
- We’ll explore the most important parts of the neighborhood, sharing its history, explanations, anecdotes, and legends—such as Cruces Street, the aqueducts that carried water, the legend of Susona, and the Hospital de los Venerables. You’ll come to understand how this neighborhood is connected to the history of Seville.
- Throughout the tour, I’ll explain the current state of the Santa Cruz neighborhood and how to enjoy it, with a focus on participating in local life through sustainable tourism.
- We’ll end up with your phone full of new photos from a special spot, but first I’ll give you some recommendations for dining and shopping. That way, you can enjoy the rest of your day in Seville.
