At Easter the concept of time and space in the city change radically. The layout of the old quarter of Seville is transformed. Pedestrians take possession of the city once again. There are people in the streets untill well into the early hours. Hundreds of thousands of people wander wearily round the old part in search of a Fraternity. So,besides the already mazelike from the streets of old Seville,is added the likelihood of running into a Fraternity or the fact that official route now divides the historic part of the city into two.
In the end, all of this boils down to making your way through the narrow streets of Seville that are rarely visited even by locals, which means making a lot of discoveries; a little hidden square, an interesting facade or a quaint little bar. Some of the charm of the festivities actually lies in strolling around these unusual places at unusual times.
* At Easter,the shortest distance between two points is hardly ever a straight line. If you come across a Fraternity on your way, very often it will be much better to go a roundabout way instead of trying to cross through the procession.
*The official route divides the centre into two parts. However,there is a series of passageways which are very well organisec by the city police, which will allow you to cross from one side of the street to the other.
*Walking in groups of more than six can prove to be very uncorfontable if only because there is a greater risk of someone gettineg lost. If you call with mobile, please don´t use when the Fraternity are netx, and quit the sound,put the vibration mode only.
*Ask the local for information. Most of them will know exactly how to advise you where to go and how to get there.
