Seville:Part 1 Santa Cruz

The capital of Andalusia is a compact city rich in cultural heritage which is best discovered area by area on foot.

Barrio de Santa Cruz, Seville’s Old Jewish Quarter is a maze of narrow streets and picturesque alleys.  You can find the equally quintessential El Rey Moro hotel here which is just 5-10mins walk from the main sights of Seville namely the Cathedral & La Giralda.

The sign of Seville which you will find emblazoned everywhere from the walls of the Ayuntamiento to the sides of municipal buses.

One cafe that you cannot miss while in Seville is La Campana, its most famous pasteleria.

I wouldn’t mind staying here the whole day sipping hot cappucino with cakes and pastries.
