Walking through the streets of Seville

Seville is a very pedestrian friendly place to visit, no big hills to negotiate, and wonderful things to see around every corner.  The old town district is known as Santa Cruz, we were fortunate enough to stay in the centre of this area.  Here are few of the things DH and I came across on our many walks...

We had a lovely cup of Moroccan mint tea, with pastries in this charming little square...

I love these narrow streets, so typical of the region...

Lively cafes lined the larger squares, this one was right outside our hotel...

These lovely fellows could take you on a tour of the city...

Seville is known for skilful use of tiling to create stunning images...

Seville is a very religious, Catholic city, religious imagery is everywhere...

Many shops sell religious artefacts, including these rather scary looking costumes worn by the penitents on Easter parades...

There were some lovely shops selling yarn...

and flamenco dresses...

In the evening the streets come alive with people going shopping and having a great time with family and friends...

Everything is beautifully lit...

How we loved wandering these streets - and our walks provided some super exercise too!
