After living for 6 months in Seville a few years ago, I always knew that I had a particular affinity with this magical city, drawn in by its wonderful and genuine “Sevillians”; on returning there a few weeks ago, it was Mari Carmen who cemented my belief that it truly is my second home.
Her home is located in the lovely historic “Macarena” district and is as welcoming as the pictures suggest; the terrace is beautiful, brimming with well-tended plants and where we shared a “Tinto de Verano” together, discussing the plans I had for my brief stay in her city. She made suggestions for local flamenco shows and religious processions, both of which provided invaluable cultural insight and were totally unforgettable and unique experiences that were only possible with the advice of a local expert; I was truly grateful for this.
The room was immaculate, homely and overall, a reflection of the wonderful person and host that is Mari Carmen; I wish I could have stayed longer, but I will undoubtedly be back to stay with her again & again!
