Los Remedios, Residential district in Seville, Spain
Los Remedios is a residential neighborhood in Seville built on a flat island between the Guadalquivir River and a former branch of it called the Tagarete canal. Its streets run in a regular grid, lined with apartment buildings from the 20th century, and the main commercial activity runs along Avenida de la República Argentina and Calle Asunción.
The neighborhood takes its name from a Carmelite convent that stood in the area before large-scale urban development began in the 20th century. As the Guadalquivir silted up in other parts of the city, the port of Seville was moved here, shaping the area's layout and growth for decades.
Los Remedios hosts the Feria de Abril on its fairground, the Recinto Ferial, every spring, drawing people from across Seville and beyond. During those days, the streets fill with decorated tents called casetas, where visitors can watch flamenco dancing and join in the festivities.
The neighborhood is easy to walk around thanks to its wide, straight streets and regular layout, so orientation rarely takes long. Visiting during the Feria de Abril means larger crowds and more traffic, so arriving on foot or by bicycle is a good idea.
Los Remedios sits on what is technically an island, formed when a canal was dug to regulate the course of the Guadalquivir in the early 20th century. The water is not always obvious as you walk through the streets, but the river borders the neighborhood on more than one side.
