"Plaza de España"

A "roadtrip", as the youth of today would call it, to Andalusia in order to finally see Seville. This magnificent city flaunts beautiful monuments and architecture which suit it to perfection. The first stop of the early evening is, below a still blue sky, the most well known square. To get there, we first of all had to cross Maria Luisa Park, filled with greenery and full of people strolling, reading, or Spain-lovers like myself, looking at the fountain in the distance, dominating the center.

With each step leading us closer, we felt like we were in a film. Indeed, the carriages passing around us, the water gushing out of the fountain under the intimate light of the lampposts and the river surrounding the square, gave me nothing but stars in my eyes. La Plaza de España, a place built for the Latin American exhibition in 1929, definitely nailed it's objective.

The tourists all stop and admire the plaza, and take their photos - panoramic of course as to not miss a single detail. On the steps, castanet sellers are trying to make a sale in the Andalusian heat.

As the day comes to an end, the illuminations embellish this piece of cultural heritage.
