The main tourist neighbourhood of the city, Santa Cruz is an attraction in its own right. Formerly the Jewish Quarter, the district fell apart with the expulsion of Seville’s Jewish population in 1492, only to undergo an incredible reconstruction in the 18th century. This is an old town the likes of which we are use to coming across in Eastern Europe ― a maze of narrow streets that all offer the curious mixture of history and 21st century life. Wandering the streets of Santa Cruz is a real delight, and an entirely free one at that.
