This takes you back into the many religions of Spain through the centuries. It is very picturesque with lovely squares and cafes. Super for an evening stroll and meal. More

We loved the area, full of winding little streets that you can touch each adjacent walls at the same time. Full of little bodegas and tapas bars and old charm. We loved it and went back a year later. More

This is such a quaint, pretty and well-preserved neighborhood that you should just put away your map for a couple of hours and wander around the streets.
