Joaquin suggested three parking options in Seville, we decided on the car park Paseo Colon at a cost of 15.90 per day Easy to find, we parked on level 2 and took the lift which brought us next to a row of restaurants. We enlisted the help of a waiter to speak with Joaquin who then came by to help us with the luggage. Nice guy, 15 min walk to the flat which is located in a pedestrianised part of town, in a block of flats, on the second floor, lift is available.
Good sized bedroom with plenty of wardrobe space, dining area with table and four chairs. Kitchen has a large fridge and the all important washing machine. Plenty of washing detergents and other items.
AC units installed in sitting room and bed room – great as we could set different temperatures in each of the rooms. At the time of our visit temperatures were running at an all time high of 40 degrees.
Flat very central, MARS supermarket 3 mins away, we subsequently discovered the prices at MARS to be lower than Malaga, fresh Orange juice 1.70, in Malaga, SuperSol supermarket 2.20 for the same brand of juice. On the way to MARS supermarket you will pass by the rear of a church, go by the front and there is an excellent bar restaurant in the square, beer is cheap as is the food, 12.00 buys you a dish of mega sized razor clams, each clam was probably 10 inches long. Nowhere else did we find razor clams of this size. Get there early as getting a table is difficult, no chairs but high stools.
Real Alacaza and the cathedral are about a 10 minute walk away, in the opposite direction the Plaza da La Encarnacion even closer. Macarena is a 10 min bus ride, we were put on bus no 13 by a kindly lady who spoke no English and we spoke no Spanish but she insisted that we should take bus no 13, spoke to the bus driver and told him where we wanted to go. Worked out perfect. Do pay the 5.00 and visit the “museum” at the cathedral, you will then understand the importance of the cathedral to the people of Macarena; do take time to watch the video in the side room. We were told that the main “shrine” weighed around 2 tons
River cruise wasted 34.00
If you lose your bearing, most will not know the street Calle Lagar, ask for Puente Y Pellon it’s about a minute away from the main shopping street and about 20 secs away from no 5 Calle Lagar- see photos
We had a minor issue with the TV; Jaoquin popped by and fixed it, no bother.
All in all a flat in a great position and Jaoquin was always available to give advice. If you want to stay in the centre of Seville, then this flat could be what you are looking for.
