The route runs through the old Jewish quarter of Seville, which includes two of the most emblematic and central neighborhoods of the city, such as the neighborhood of Santa Cruz and the neighborhood of San Bartolomé. The route begins in the Plaza del Triunfo, between the Reales Alcázares and the Archivo de Indias. From there it accesses the Calle Mateos Gago, with some slope, where you can see the current location of the Church of the Santa Cruz. It continues along Fabiola Street to Cabeza del Rey D. Pedro Street to retrace its steps and access Conde de Ibarra Street to the Plaza de las Mercedarias and, from there, to the Palacio de Mañara. Continue the route along the adjoining street until you reach the Church of San Bartolomé, the only one of the three ancient synagogues that retains traces of its Jewish past. Continue along Calle Verde until you reach Calle San Pedro, where the Palacio de Altamira and the Church of Santa María la Blanca, a former synagogue transformed into a Christian temple, are located. From there, continue to the old Puerta de la Carne, and then to the Plaza de los Refinadores. Then, it reaches the Plaza de Santa Cruz, location of the ancient synagogue of the same name. It continues along Calle Agua to enter emblematic spaces in the Sephardic history of Seville, such as Calle Vida and Calle Muerte. It passes through the Plaza de Doña Elvira and, through a covered alley, reaches the Patio de Banderas de los Reales Alcázares, where the route ends. In general it is an eminently pedestrian route, almost flat except in the first section (Calle Mateos Gago), with good mobility, the main problems are the narrowness of the sidewalks at some points and pedestrian fords not executed.
The pavements are well maintained. There are balls instead of bollards, which can constitute a danger to safe traffic. There are crosswalks and fords in the areas of vehicular traffic. Some of the streets are pedestrian or have sidewalks at the same level as the roadway. There is public transportation near the Cathedral of Seville, specifically the Metro Centro tramway on Avenida de la Constitución. Another point close to the route with public transport is halfway along the route, on Avenida Menéndez Pelayo. There is a cab rank at the beginning of the route, at the start of Calle Mateo Gagos and, again, on Avenida Menéndez Pelayo. The municipality has adapted cabs. There are no parking spaces reserved for PRM nearby, only on Avenida Menéndez Pelayo, but far from the point of the route. The route is pedestrian. The horizontal routes allow safe and comfortable transit, although there are sidewalks with a very narrow width. The landscaped areas are not protected at some points. There are crosswalks and fords when there is vehicular traffic. Some are well designed and signposted but there are other crossings that lack pedestrian fords. Some of the streets are pedestrian or have sidewalks at the same level as the roadway. <span class="automatic-translation-warning">This text was automatically translated.</span>
