I stayed in Macarena so I could go to flamenco guitar school. The location was perfect for me. It was also only a 20-30mins walk to all the main attractions,and it’s worth the walk. I was there for two weeks and walked every day. There were plenty bars and cafes really close if that’s your thing. The accommodation was great and had everything I needed including laundry facilities. It was very comfortable and quiet. The building had been completely renovated and looked good. The area has a lot of graffiti around it and looks a bit off putting BUT a lot of Seville does. It seems to be a thing. don’t let it put you off its a fantastic area and I felt safe the whole time. There were groups of musicians playing in the local square in evening with people dancing. Quite lovely. The Alameda Hercules was a 6 min walk and had plenty going on. The Macarena church is a must visit. Stunning. (Inside)
Enjoy.
