The Plaza de Espaņa
by Josephine Quintero
Laid out in 1929 for an abortive 'Fair of the Americas',
the Plaza de España and adjoining Maria
Luisa Park are among the most pleasant - and impressive - public
spaces in Spain. They are an ideal place to spend the middle part
of the day, just ten minutes' walk to the east of the cathedral.
Today, the plaza mainly comprises government offices
while the surrounding moat can be best appreciated by renting out
a rowing boat. A vast semicircular complex with fountains, monumental
staircases and a mass of tile work, it is quite spectacular.
There is a tiled alcove named after each of the
provinces of Spain. Patriats like to have their photo taken in their
home province.
 Discover a new way to see Seville! A horse carriage ride will offer you a romantic overview of the city as you relax and let the horse do all the hard work..
