It is lovely for a stroll in the evening and after a flamenco show. Atmospheric and full of character, there is not that much to do apart from getting charmed by the place (and lost sometimes). Do your research before stopping for a bite, you can be seriously disappointed as there are a fair few tourist traps. But for a... More

Loved strolling through these narrow, cobblestone streets & stopping at a cafe to enjoy a few tapas while sitting outside.

Lots of little narrow streets that are cool even on hottest days. Lots of little cafes and bars to stop at.

This is a great place to wander around. It is very picturesque with lovely squares and tempting bars. Some of the restaurants are little bit touristy though so choose carefully.

During our 4 night stay in Seville, we did not venture much beyond Santa Cruz (although there is much to see in Sevilla). Our first impression was during the cab ride from the train station to our hotel (Dona Maria). We were blown away when the cabbie turned from the boulevard onto the tiny streets of Santa Cruz.

This wasn't as interesting as I had hoped it would be, predominately shops selling the same tourist flamenco tat as the shops near by. Interesting to wander the narrow streets but be aware of traffic and scooters around you.

loved the little alleys and the winding often dead end streets. Most of the shops though were full of the same tourist tat. We want better stuff than polka dot aprons and t shirts.

Street music, rows of tapas bars, relaxed life style, dessert shops open till night and the beautiful Giralda and Alcazar right in the middle of it all! Can't find a better place to spend your time in the authentic Andalusian way!

Even though there are a lot of tourists here, it's easy enough to lose yourself in narrow streets and stumble upon a churruria making fresh churros in the morning! Plenty of room for everyone in this fabulous neighborhood. A couple of things to note, if you choose to eat outside, remember that many people still smoke and outside seating is... More
