What areas to avoid in Seville?

Seville's dangerous neighborhoods In the Andalusian capital, the areas that can be defined as dangerous are: El Vacie, Las 3000 Viviendas, Los Pajaritos, and Polígono Norte. We recommend you don't rent a room or an apartment in one of these areas. El Vacie is an out-and-out shanty town.
