The Macarena acquires a slightly different meaning in Seville than we might be used to. This is a bustling neighborhood with great nightlife, markets and shops. You will also come across different monasteries and churches in the narrow streets. It is not surprising that you immediately wanted to sing “HEY MACARENA” by hearing the word Macarena, because this song, known by almost everyone, is based on a former resident of this neighborhood! Keep in mind that Seville is not only seen as the most beautiful city in Spain, but also as the hottest. And that is a fact! During summer people take it easy during the day and show up on the streets and terraces.
