About this audio guide
This guide to Plaza del Cabildo in Seville follows the Sunday coin and stamp market that fills a half-moon of arcades built over the ruins of a choirboys' school and a chunk of Almohad city wall. It traces coin dealer Francisco Agea's decades behind a folding table and collector Ángel García, who has sold here since he was eighteen. Stand under the arcade and listen to the haggling echo off the centuries-old stone.
