Known for

White lanes between Seville Cathedral, the Reales Alcázares and Calle Mateos Gago, with the Archive of the Indies beside the cathedral.

Why go

Come on the first morning, at opening. By noon the courtyards are full of groups. In the evening the lanes stay.

Where to stay

A fair base if you want the cathedral on foot at opening. The lanes are loud late, and a suitcase is a poor fit on the cobbles.

The lanes are short and fold back on themselves: keep the Giralda in mind when you want the cathedral again. The Alcázar is inside this same walk, and the Archive of the Indies stands on the same square as the cathedral.

Where to have it

  • Las Teresas — В 1870-м на Санта-Тересе открылась бакалея и винная лавка; с 1970-х это бар Санта-Крус, который ведёт Луис Санчес.
