About this tour
A two-hour guided walk through Santa Cruz, Seville's medieval Jewish Quarter, led by a local historian who unpicks the neighbourhood's layered past. Narrow streets and plant-draped courtyards frame stories of real figures—Susona, Miguel Mañara—alongside folklore and period anecdotes that shaped Andalusian culture. You'll move at a leisurely pace, stopping to absorb architectural details and hear lesser-known accounts that reshape how you see this compact, walkable district.

- Sussona's tragic legend woven through the alleyways
- Miguel Mañara's connection to local mythology

What to expect
Expect a rambling two-hour circuit through tight, winding lanes where your guide pauses regularly to explain the significance of doorways, plaques, and corners. The pace is slow enough to catch architectural flourishes and absorb stories—some grounded in records, others embellished by centuries of retelling. Your guide will field questions and offer context that connects individual tales to broader patterns of life in medieval Spain. The neighbourhood is compact and mostly flat, though some streets are uneven.
