Step into the hidden side of the Andalusian capital on this free mysteries and legends tour of Seville, where ghost stories, myth, and romance come together.
Tour Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at the iconic Metropol Parasol, popularly known as Las Setas de Sevilla, to start our free mysteries and legends tour of Seville.
First, we'll wander through the enchanting old town and set off to the picturesque Santa Cruz neighborhood, the former Jewish quarter, discovering the tales that shaped the city's identity. The guide will share the legendary origins of the city, where you'll learn about the dramatic lives of King Ferdinand III and King Peter the Cruel, and the moving story of María Fernández Coronel. Do you know about the mysterious Head of King Don Pedro? You'll soon find out!
We'll reach the San Bartolomé neighborhood, where we'll stroll through the charming streets of Calle Mármoles. Here, the three Roman columns are one of the archaeological enigmas of Roman Hispalis. Then, we'll head to Calle Mateos Gago. In this street is Casa Fabiola, a massive mansion with a pink facade and large wooden gates, which was the former headquarters of the Lara Foundation. Many speak of the smell of burning wax, sudden chills, and strange noises—like the sound of a weeping man—in the house's corridors. Rumor has it that it is the spirit of one of the former owners who lingers there.
Next, we'll reach the beautiful Plaza de Santa Cruz, where we'll learn about stories of forbidden love, betrayal, miracles, and revenge. Finally, we'll see the magnificent Plaza del Triunfo, near the Giralda and the Seville Cathedral. We'll conclude our free tour here after 1.5 hours.
