Hello,
What would be a good translation for " el tipico y topica Sevilla de panfleto publictario".
Context: Un mundo en el que el tipico y topica Sevilla de panfleto publictario desaparace para dejar paso a gorillas cleptomanos drogadictos camellos y prostitutas.
The speaker is referring to the other side of Seville which he depicts in his webseries.
Thanks
