| Seville | | Seville if made for strolling |
Seville is made for strolling.
At every corner there are monuments, town squares and alleys united
with the smell of orange blossoms and jasmine, the sound of fountains
that captivate those whose pass by. Thanks to the stone-laid streets,
the white-washed walls and the flowers in the balconies, Seville has
its own distinct character.
Especially nice is a stroll through the Santa Cruz district, the
old Jewish quarter, with its narrow streets, white walls and simple
facades. The impeccable whites make a gorgeous composition with the
forged iron gates and windows and with the hall taht opens up into the
central patio with baseboards made of tiles, a central fountain, orange
trees, jasmine, or nightlady, plants required in any patio.
Very near, but with a different atmosphere you will find the popular
Sierpes street, known as the commercial area full of people and
tradition.
Also going through the dazzling gardens of Maria Luisa Park has
its charm, taking a boat-ride in the pond at the Plaza de España.
And strolling at the banks of the Guadalquivir or taking a ride in a
riverboat.
And if you prefer, you can also take a horse and carriage ride. And when
you want taking the time to stop to contemplate the little squares and
streets as you go by.
