    Estadio Manuel Ruiz de Lopera

    It is said that the only thing that divides Seville, apart from the Guadalquivir, is the sevillanos' passionate support for its two rival professional clubs, Real Betis and Sevilla. Both teams are currently well established in the Primera Liga and players on Betis' books include Spanish international midfield star Joaquín.

    Betis plays at the Estadio Manuel Ruiz de Lopera, beside Avenida de Jerez (the Cádiz road). Take the southbound bus 34 from opposite the main tourist office.
