Macarena, Sevilla

Situated inland from the river and north of the barrio of Santa Cruz, you’ll find the Macarena partially enclosed by a section of Sevilla’s ancient city wall.

In a nutshell

Settle your curiosity about the origin of that legendary Los del Río song La Macarena that you last danced to at your cousin's wedding with a visit to Sevilla's Macarena neighborhood. Located north of the center, the barrio Macarena nearly overflows with character stemming from its working-class history. Along with the cobbled streets and the best surviving stretch of Sevilla's ancient wall, you will stumble across hoards of cultural points of interest.
