HOTEL CASAS DE LA JUDERIA
SURROUNDINGS OF THE HOTEL LAS CASAS DE LA JUDERIA
Hotel Casas de la Juderia is located in the old Jewish quarter of the Santa Cruz neighborhood,
leading to the old city gate of Puerta de la Carne. Plenty of outdoor
dining options are in Plaza Santa Maria la Blanca. The small arched
entrance to the hotel on Callejon Dos Hermanas is just on the left behind
the umbrellas.
In the same plaza there is a small exchange house which also offers
internet access. We don't recommend changing money in an exchange house,
but the internet access is convenient to the hotel.
Inside the Santa Maria la Blanca church, just a few doors down from the Hotel entrance.
Just a minute's walk from the Santa Maria la Blanca church we find calle
Cano y Cueto and Restaurante El Modesto, one of our favorite places
to eat in Sevilla. The restaurant kitchen stays open all day.
We cross the small street by the restaurant and arrive at the Jardines Murillos, the gardens just outside the Alcazar walls.
Just up a side street from the Jardines Murillo is the Plaza de Santa
Cruz. Behind the trees to the right is Restaurante La Albahaca, well
known for it's excellent cuisine.
Several outdoor dining options can be found in Plaza de Doña
Elvira, a 5 minute walk from the Plaza de Santa Cruz and the Hotel.
Returning to the hotel we follow calle Santa Maria la Blanca in the
opposite direction to calle Marmoles. Three columns from a Roman temple dedicated to Hercules can be found standing in a small area next to
an apartment building.
We continue on calle Mateos Gago until we reach the Cathedral. The Alcazar is just behind us in this photo.
Entertainment options close to the hotel are numerous. Here we see the
patio of the Casa de la Memoria on calle Ximénez de Enciso, which
is the venue for their nightly flamenco performances.
Just two blocks away from the hotel is Cafe-Bar Levies on calle Levies. This is a popular nightspot in Barrio Santa Cruz.
Following calle Levies we arrive at La Carboneria, a favorite
bar for locals and tourists because of the live flamenco performances
every night. La Carboneria is very large and includes an indoor area,
a covered terrace and an outdoor patio for the summer and spring.
