The city of Seville is known worldwide for its impressive heritage, as well as for its intense cultural and leisure activities. However, the vast majority of people do not know the secret corners of Seville. Ready to learn more about them? Read on!
Discover the secret corners of Seville
Before we start, we recommend you to know our Lockers for suitcases in Seville to leave your bags or backpacks. We have 5 locations distributed in different parts of the city for you to choose the closest to your location.
Kissing Alley
This magical and unknown corner is located on Reinoso Street, in the Santa Cruz neighborhood.
It is a very narrow street where the balconies are placed very close together, so much so that two people can kiss without moving from theirs, hence the origin of its name. In addition, the design and decoration of this street have a very romantic touch impregnated with a strong scent of jasmine.
Today, this alley has become an ideal place for couples who want to have a special souvenir in the form of a photo of their visit to Seville.
Hidden objects in Seville Cathedral
The history of the cathedral of Seville is very interesting if you want to know a little more about one of the most important monuments of the city.
Its construction began in the twelfth century and therefore hides many secrets. We recommend that you visit the Patio de los Naranjos to discover a number of objects that are not in sight: a wooden crocodile, an elephant tusk, a bit for horses and a baton.
There are numerous legends about each of them, although none of them is scientifically sound.
Cabildo Square
It is one of the least known squares of Seville and, therefore, little frequented by tourists. For us, LOCK & enjoy! is a real architectural and cultural jewel worth knowing.
It is accessed from Constitution Avenue and Arfe Street. It is a small semicircular square where until the mid-twentieth century there was a school.
In one of the entrances there is a small store where they sell all kinds of handmade sweets made in different convents of Seville. However, we advise you to go on Sundays, since there is a flea market of stamps and old coins, as well as archaeological remains, minerals and all kinds of curiosities.
Very close to this square, you will find our slogans in the Arenal Lockers in Arenal, just 8 minutes walkingjust 8 minutes walking. It is a good opportunity for us to take care of your backpack while you continue your route to know the secret corners of Seville.
Green Street
In the Jewish Quarter is one of the most magical streets of Seville. The vast majority of people who discover it is by chance or because they have lost their way. We anticipate that it is the link between Menéndez Pelayo Avenue and Céspedes Street.
It is very special because of its narrowness, its traditional architecture and the numerous vegetation. This last detail allows large shaded areas to protect from the high temperatures in summer.
On the other hand, on Verde Street is the Casa de los Padilla, one of the oldest houses in the capital of Seville, although it is now part of a hotel. If you look closely, you can see a courtyard with Renaissance style columns in which the family’s coat of arms is located.
Pantheon of Illustrious Sevillians
It is located in the crypt of the Church of the Annunciation, but you must enter through the courtyard of the Faculty of Fine Arts.
The Pantheon of Illustrious Sevillians is one of the least known places for tourists visiting the city, however, it has a special importance. The reason is that here are guarded the remains of people who were illustrious in Sevillian society for their great contribution in many areas. Among the best known are Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer and Arias Montano.
The babies of Aníbal González
Aníbal González was one of the most important architects of Seville. Proof of this is that there is a sculpture of him in the Plaza de España, which was recreated by three young artists.
At first glance it may go unnoticed, however, underneath the statue’s raincoat are hidden 3 small baby hands. The reason is very simple, since just that year the 3 artists who created the sculpture were parents, therefore, it is a tribute to their children.
The oldest stationery store in Spain
On Sierpes Street is the oldest stationery shop in Spain and the third oldest in Europe, since it opened its doors in 1856; it is called Papelería Ferrer.
For us, LOCK & enjoy! has one of the most beautiful facades of the street. It is a historic place because for many years there were gatherings attended by important people such as Becquer or Alvarez Quintero.

Silver Tower
The Torre del Oro in Seville is one of its main tourist attractions. However, 200 meters away is also the Torre de la Plata, also known as Torre de los Azacanes.
In the twelfth century it was linked to the Torre del Oro through a wall that was demolished. For this reason, some call it “the twin sister”.
