[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Probably the most 'normal' area in central Sevilla, Macarena is still largely working class but is gradually being gentrified.
It covers the northern area of the city, up to the old city walls, where abides arguably Sevilla's best-loved virgin, La Macarena de la Esperanza, known locally as La Macarena.
The hit song was about one of the many Sevillian women named after the virgin.
Once the poorest slum in Spain, it's now a characterful area with many churches to visit, and interesting markets and plazas; although it's still quite run-down, some of the crumbling old palaces and mansions are being repaired.
