For about 1.5 hours, you'll tour some of the neighborhood's highlights.

The visit continues through streets and squares that show the historical evolution of the neighborhood and its strong popular identity.

The route ends next to one of the most important symbols of Seville: the Basilica of the Macarena, next to the old city walls and the Puerta de la Macarena.
