Our guided walking tour begins with the help of an official guide discovering the Barrio Santa Cruz, old Judería, a labyrinth formed by narrow streets that leads to the famous Plaza de los Venerables. Next, it is the turn of the two most precious monuments of the city: the Real Alcazar and the Cathedral of Seville.
