We only spent three days in Seville, so we didn’t really get around to walking very much. I think if we had, we would have more easily connected this neighbourhood with the tourist area. Having said that, it was very enjoyable living the way normal people live and not in the heart of the tourist district. That also means that shopping and the local restaurants are much, much cheaper. We thought it was a very authentic experience and we found everything we needed in Riccardo’s apartment. He was a very communicative and helpful host.
