For several years now, I have seen Pablo Vera de Cabo protect La Corrala (en la calle Fray Diego de Cadiz) - perhaps the last Corral de Vecinos (traditional Sevillian house built in the19th and early 20th centuries for poor and working class residents) in which the authentic atmosphere of Sevillian corrales de vecinos has been preserved, and in which not only people live, but also meet and make concerts, exhibitions, brunches. This house is one of the living "hearts" of Macarena quarter, with a very warm atmosphere. Usually, La Corrala hosts students who come to Seville from different countries to learn flamenco music and dance. But now, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, many students have been unable to travel to Seville. If you or your friends are looking for simple, inexpensive and authentic housing in Macarena for several months (or even a month), write to Pablo Vera de Cabo! Please share if you can. And here you can read our article about La Corrala: http://peoplelovespaces.net/articles/13
