Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Plaza de Dona Elvira is a lovely plaza, enclosed by some nice old buildings. There are a few cafes and restaurants and you could have your lunch or your coffee without being worried too much about excessive noise, depending on the time of day ... This Plaza has a bit of history and it is rumoured this is the exact spot where the famous legend of Don Juan actually started. Apparently, according to the unlikely story, the father of Doña Elvira, for whom the Plaza is named, had a house in this spot, but it is not known what really happened in the meantime.... Still, it's worth a visit.

We stayed in the Hotel Doña Elvira, so our room overlooked this little gem of a square. It's full of orange trees, providing a wonderful, shaded, green respite from the hot sun. The square is lined with restaurants and cafés, and features a fountain in the middle, with colorful, mosaic-covered benches all around. It can get noisy at times, when hordes of people on guided tours descend, but it's still a beautiful square.

Our tour guide Caroline brought us here while walking through Santa Cruz. I would have never found it without her. Anyways it was an incredibly beautiful shaded plaza that was amazingly peaceful and quiet in the middle of the busiest quarter of the city. The other great thing at the plaza is an art gallery where you get wonderful views of the Cathedral in the morning. I am very thankful that she brought us here as I know I would not have been able to find and it was one of the most tranquil places we found in the city.
PS. Despite its beauty and quiet now, the plaza does have a darker side with the street of life (Vida) and death (Susona). A sad and interesting story during the times of the Inquisition.

We stopped here as a group to relax during our orientation tour of Seville. There are a couple of candy stores near to each other, also one on Calle Susona which is just meters away, on a street that has a dark history.

One of the many lively squares in Sevilla - with the orange trees and a little fountain in the middle, it's a perfect place for a break after exploring te city. Tends to be less crowded than other places.

Almost all places to eat in the Santa Cruz neighborhood are highly touristic, but, if you would like to eat there, chose a restaurant in the Dona Elvira Square, is one of the most pleasant squares in the neighborhood. Very shady, very cozy. It is surrounded by restaurants and bars.
