Seville - New Town Boulevards Travel Guides | Seville | Sub Regions | Seville - New Town Boulevards

The wealthy homes in the eastern suburbs around Nervión are in contrast to some of the poorer barrios in other directions; this area is home to some striking modern architecture and much of the town's commerce. There are some good nightlife options around here and, as a result of all the offices, some excellent lunch-hour tapas. There's good shopping around Calle de Luís Montoto, where there's also the remains of an old Moorish aqueduct that used to bring water to the city from Carmona, 36 kilometres distant. Seville's two football teams, between whom absolutely no love is lost, are based out in these parts, Sevilla FC to the east of town, and Real Betis considerably further away to the south.

Sights

Av Kansas City s/n. Bus 32.

Named after one of the city's two patron saints, this modern train station was completed in 1991. Designed by the local architectural duo of Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortiz, it's typical of their unadorned modernism while still recalling the Muslim era with its imposing brick façade.

Av Luís Montoto s/n. Bus 21, 24, 27.

The "cross of the fields" is a Gothic/Mudéjar stone crucifix on Avenida Luís Montoto, sheltered by a brick pavilion. When the Marquis of Tarifa returned from the Holy Land and designed his Casa de Pilatos, he decided to establish a re-enactment in Seville of Christ's journey to Calvary. Starting at his house, he marked out a route, which ended here, thus replicating the distance Christ supposedly walked. The Cruz del Campo is rather forgotten about now, but in a way, however, it's Seville's best known landmark, as the ubiquitous Cruzcampo beer is brewed in an attractive factory a stone's throw from the cross it's named after.

Av Eduardo Dato s/n. T 954 535 353, http://www.sevillafc.es Bus 5, 22, 23, 32.

The home of Sevilla FC is adorned with a massive tiled wall with the pennants of the famous club sides that have played here. Despite the intense and often downright nasty rivalry, even Real Betis get a mention!

C Santo Rey s/n. Bus 23.

This church gives its name to a small barrio around it. The church itself is big, bright and yellow with an attractive tiled dome and belltower. The church is home to a Semana Santa cofradía; behind the church is a large old armaments factory. Just east of the church begins the pretty neo-Moorish park, the Jardines de Buhaira. It's a nice place, and there's an especially good tapas bar here, La Huerta . Stop off for a snack in the shade of its fantastic terrace.
