About this experience
Do you want to immerse yourself in the medieval atmosphere of a city where ancient legends and terrifying events of past centuries are closely intertwined? Narrow streets, wrought-iron grilles, the dark greenery of balconies, and the unusual silence will be beautiful backdrops to the incredible stories you will hear on a walking tour of the most mystical corners of Seville.
What to Expect
Legends of the Medieval City
You will learn what secrets and legends are hidden in the narrow streets of Seville. Perhaps we will meet the heroine of the legend of passion and betrayal, and it won't be Carmen. Or in the labyrinth of streets, we will come across the desperate King of Castile Pedro, whose life could have been a great plot for an opera. I will show you the Devil's Grate, a genius of Arab engineering, and tell you legends about Figaro and Don Juan. Stories of saints and madmen, opera heroes, and renowned writers - this and much more awaits you during our walk.
Stories of the Exiled Jewish Community
You will learn about the cruel Jewish pogroms in Seville and the horrors of the plague epidemic, hear the legend of Susanna's ghost and her tragic fate. You will uncover the secret of why Seville has so many orange trees and why one of the most picturesque neighborhoods of the city, Santa Cruz, is located where it is. Street of Life and Street of Death, Street of Water and Barabbas Street - I will tell you what tragic events stand behind the names of each. And you will also learn about an ancient mummy whose life and posthumous chronicle captivate the spirit.
