The neighborhood was alive a busy during the day. It is located in the middle of the main shopping area of the city where vehicles are not allowed. Lots of clothing and accessory stores, like living in the middle of a out door mall. At night it is very quiet as all the stores are closed and no one is around. Near the river is very lively at night.

My wife did not like how the little side street to access the buildings entrance was was dark at night. On our trip we visited Madrid, Barcelona and Seville, we enjoyed our time in Seville most and part of that was due to staying in Joaquin's place.

Also the restaurants recommended my Joaquin were some of the best we had in Spain.
