With over 750,000 inhabitants, Seville can accommodate various spiritual and religious preferences, though admittedly, during Semana Santa, it will become obvious which is the most dominant!
Religious plurality is a part of Seville's historical heritage, as you will learn in your studies here. The three principal religions that have influenced the city: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are visible in the very fabric of the city: the Moortish retaining walls, best seen in the Macarena neighborhood, the Jewish Quarter: el Barrio de Santa Cruz, and the largest Gothic Cathedral in the world: el Catedral, a five minute's walk from the school.
If you would like to worship or explore a like-minded group in Seville in these areas, below we have tried to list how to do so. Please be respectful of any cultural norms that are applicable (if you don't know these, ask) or any membership rules for entrance, etc.
We have tried to include here a list of places of worship and meetings that addresses the majority of our students' needs. However, this list is certainly not exhaustive, as our experience has not been either.
If you cannot find here what you need, please check with Reception to see if someone can help you. By doing so, you help us better serve future students by adding to our experience! Note that some points, such as Yoga, are included only if their establishment's emphasis is spiritually or mentally, not simply physiologically, focused.
