Plaza de España and Parque de María Luisa
Built as the centerpiece for the 1929 International Exhibition, the Plaza de España overlooks Parque de María Luisa (María
Luisa Park). Traditionally styled and lavishly decorated with thousands of colored tiles, the 650-foot-wide plaza is framed
by a semicircular range of buildings and encircled by a canal. The park, laid out in the 19th century, is a tranquil area
with pools and fountains. It plays a central part in Seville's Spring Festival, when hundreds of horsemen accompany carriages
of smiling, silk-robed girls around the park.
