Hi everybody: can somebody tell me where to stay in Sevilla in 2004 - close or in the district where the Holy Week Processions take place? thanks a lot!

The OPTIMUM area in which to stay is the Old Jewish Quarter - a.k.a. "La Judería" - of Santa Cruz. Your next choice would be the also-old neighborhood of El Arenal. The processions take place throughout Sevilla wherever there is a church in nearly every neighborhood but the largest and most elaborate ones pass by the Cathedral and La Giralda.

Be sure to look through the listing of hostels (called "hostales" in Spanish and "hostals" in Catalán) on the Seville Hostels page . Those which you might consider in the above mentioned areas would include Hostal San Esteban, Hostal San Benito, Hostal Arias, Pensión Guadalquivir Centro , Hostal Los Gabrieles , & Hostal Lis II.

Good luck! Saludos, MadridMan

Muchas gracias!
