Macarena
Macarena is the traditional and historical name of the area of Seville located north of the Casco Antiguo on the eastern bank of the Guadalquivir. Nowadays, La Macarena is the name of the neighborhood placed on both sides of the north city wall, but also a much bigger administrative district of Seville. Among other monuments, the Basilica of Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza Macarena, the Macarena Gate and the Parliament of Andalusia are located in the district.
El Rinconcillo, a tapas bar built in the 1670s in the Macarena, is the oldest tapas bar in Seville and likely to be the oldest specifically-built tapas bar in the world. The 45-metre-high Torre de Perdigones (Spanish: Tower of Pellets) has been converted into a Camera Obscura with views of the city centre and the Expo 92 site on the Isla de La Cartuja.
