I wandered over to Basilica De La Macarena to see the famous weeping Virgin of Hope. The statue…read morewas created in 1680s and was known for its famous sorrowful expression and tears of crystals. It was beautiful and solemn. I sat in the pews for awhile and was mildly annoyed by a blogger who was constantly moving back and forth in front of the altar filming and commenting as he went along. I was surprised at the latitude given. Next door I paid the 3.5E admission fee to enter the basilica's museum. Here you get to see the float where the Virgin of Hope is carried around Seville during Holy Week. It also contained more details about the statue, parade accessories and its importance.

Beautiful Cathedral - glad we got to visit…read more Super crowded, so I suggest you go early. I've heard the guided tour is worth it - we just walked the property, wished I would have at least had the English audio guide. Great place to see while in Seville - you should go. Would I go back? If I were bringing others, yes. On my own again, probably not - once was good enough.
