• Walking around the shopping centre of the town. The district that surrounds the pedestrian’s street called Sierpes and Tetuan, is the place to visit for the best of Seville’s old and new shops. • Flamenco is a purely Andalusian type of folk singing whose origins stretch back through the whole history of Andalusia. It is a blend of North African musical influences and probably with origins of Jewish rhythms, where a guitar accompanies dancing and singing. Artist perform their show in tablaos (El Arenal, Los Gallos, …), which are not spontaneous as they used to, but carried out by professionals. Though aimed at tourism, they yet provide high quality performances. • Horse carriage ride, approximately 50 minutes long, around Maria Luisas’s Park.
