The historic centre of Seville is located on the left-hand side of the river in a spot previously protected by the Almohade wall (of which some ruins remain today). It contains some of the most famous neighborhoods of the city such as Santa Cruz, San Bartolomé, San Vicente, San Lorenzo and El Arenal. On the right-hand side of the river stands the Arrabal suburb. These are the most interesting areas for the traveller to visit.

The rest of the city is built around a series of expansion projects, the most important being that carried out for the Latin American Exhibition of 1929, built along the southern stretch of the Guadalquivir River. In 1992, near the Cartuja Monastery, a new area was developed to the west of the city where Expo 92 was held.

+ San Luis, Macarena and Feria
This area is made up of a group of different villages with authentic sevillian flavour. In days gone by, it was an area renewned for its strong charactheristic flavour. It is a popular, busy part of town. Its streets -for example Calle de la Feria (Feria Street) where the thursday flea- market is set upo -are the oldest in Seville; they are full of people and tradition.

+ Arenal
The bullfighter's neighbourhood par-excellence, it is the location of the Maestranza Bullring. It was previously a large open space between the Triana Door and the Torre del Oro (Golden Tower). The Paseo del Arenal, where Lope de Vega set the exploits of his Picaresque heroes, was created in the 16th century. The myth of don Juan Tenorio was also forged in this area...
