Peace and quiet, legends and history; if that’s the combination you’re looking for in the centre of Seville, then this is the place for you.
San Lorenzo and Museo are two adjoining neighbourhoods that most visitors are actually only familiar with because of the Museo de Bellas Artes. After the Museo del Prado in Madrid, this is the most important museum of fine art in Spain. Apart from that, these two 17th-century neighbourhoods are visited almost exclusively by locals. They are familiar with the traditions and legends and appreciate the historical significance of streets such as Jesús del Gran Poder and Calle San Vicente. There is a sense of tranquillity in these neighbourhoods, despite the many cosy cafés and restaurants. If you enjoy soaking up a relaxed atmosphere amongst the locals, this is the place to be.
