For tourists the hordes can leave you seeing very little so better take it easy!<\/p>\n<p>In the mornings you can still enjoy Seville in its usual guise. Enjoy its architecture, a melding of Islamic and Hispanic styles. The Cathedral of Santa Maria, the largest cathedral in the world. The courtyard and bell tower with Moorish roots.<\/p>\n<p>At noon you can wander around the Barrio de Santa Cruz, the old Jewish quarter while the Semana Santa begins again.<\/p>\n<p>For more information please visit: <span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><a title=\"Sevilla online\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sevillaonline.es\/english\/seville\/semana-santa_holy-week.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seville<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>and if you need to rent a car in Spain or anywhere else in the world, please check our latest offers on: <span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><a title=\"Car rental in Spain and all over the world\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoturistica.com\/ie\/uk\/car-rental\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.autoturistica.com\/ie<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"irc_mimg\"><a id=\"irc_mil\" href=\"http:\/\/sientesevilla.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" id=\"irc_mi\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/sientesevilla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2013\/02\/semana_santa.jpg\" width=\"466\" height=\"393\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easter in Seville is very special, since medieval times where the processions were a way to explain the crucifixion to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[285,296,280],"tags":[547,654,309,655],"class_list":["post-3431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-europe","category-spain","category-travel","tag-car-rental","tag-holy-week-seville","tag-rent-a-car","tag-semana-santa-sevilla"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autoturistica.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autoturistica.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autoturistica.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autoturistica.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autoturistica.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.autoturistica.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3431\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autoturistica.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autoturistica.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autoturistica.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
