El Arenal is a neighborhood in the historical center of Seville, lying between the Guadalquivir and the old Jewish Quarter, Santa Cruz, to the east. Its name comes from the sandy nature that this east bank of the river once used to have. El Arenal has a history characterized by its former position as port of Seville, until river silting forced the city to relocate the port to the southern edge of the city.

Some of the historical sites in the neighborhood are:

  • The Torre del Oro, a 13th Century Moorish watchtower
  • The Reales Atarazanas, the Royal Shipyards
  • La Real Maestranza, Seville's bullring and the second most important in Spain, after the Plaza de Toros in Madrid
