Another fascinating proposal is to visit the ancient and historic centre of Seville, walking through its narrow streets. The visit to the Basilica de la Macarena (Macarena Church) can’t be missed. In fact, in this temple thousand of Sevillans enter in order to pray to the famous Virgen de la Esperanza, populary known as “la Macarena”.
From there we could reach the Iglesia de los Gitanos (Gipsys’ Church), strolling close to Mudejar churches and old city wall remains. Inside the temple some remains of the Duchess Doña Cayetana de Alba were placed; close to her loved Jesús de la Salud, better known in Seville as the Cristo de los Gitanos (Gipsys’ Christ).
