Santa Cruz, one of Seville’s most symbolic districts, is possibly the best preserved medieval area in the city, filled with narrow lanes and plazas. On our journey, we’ll explore its Islamic beginnings and its history as a Jewish quarter in the Christian town. As part of our expedition, we will interweave key historical events of Seville, some rather gloomy, with the neighborhood’s centuries-old myths and folklore. Tales like that of La Susona or Don Juan Tenorio will be our guides through some of the most attractive and captivating sights in Seville.

History comes alive. - This was a truly amazing tour. Manuel is exceedingly cordial, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. His bright and friendly demeanor is so engaging. Manuel was so excited to share his wealth of history and insight that the time just flew by. We are so grateful to have found him. If you are interested in the myriad intersections of Islamic, Jewish and Christian histories, this is a tour not to be missed.

Walk with Manuel to understand how truly amazing Seville is. - Manuel is a fountain of history. His presentation is in excellent English. Seville is an amazing city, which we found even more amazing after Manuel's empassioned differentiation between fact and legend. Manuel's private tour is the only way to see the Jewish Quarter and understand the reality of religious differences in Seville rather than the fiction. In this time of global intolerance and violence, we all need to understand the facts of Seville rather than cling to its illusion.
