## Good to know
The tourist-heavy areas of Santa Cruz and around the Giralda have pricier food. The Macarena district is recommended for smaller, quieter dining venues. Avoid venturing too far west beyond Munoz León. A 'Cortado' (espresso with hot creamy milk) is highly recommended. Hacienda room rates are noted as slightly above the local average.
