Plaza de Espana is hands down the most beautiful structure I've ever seen. I love the rounded shape and the warm, inviting colours and patterns all around. When we were there, the weather was beautifully mild, and there was hardly anyone around (perhaps everyone was at the Feria?), except for a few musicians playing Besame Mucho - it felt like... More

This is rather a new place built in 192 for exposision. It's called park but it's not greenery park. The 2 storied tiled building , canal running with some ducks is very pretty and pleasant place to walk around and have nice photo shoots. Overall, it's free! More

The buildings are impressive, but the architect forgot this is Sevilla, which is like Phoenix. It was 42C (108F) and the wide open plaza was a frying pan! More

This edifice is a Spanish monument to Spain itself. That might sound a bit strange but it works and should be a list of things to see when visiting Seville. More

One of the most spectacular plazas you would ever see! The benches with the tile seals for every major city is a must see. More

Wow. Is this impressive – huge expanse with large towers at the ends, colonnades, a grand staircase, wonderful tiled scenes of each of Spain's provinces ( and there are a lot of provinces – I tried taking pictures of all of them and unfortunately ran out of time ), a great fountain, nifty tiled benches around the perimeter set in...

Although only built in 1929, this has a real sense of history, and is very much a thing of beauty. Looking like something that you would expect to find in Las Vegas, the detail and design of the tiles are exquisite and a tribute to the artisans who produced them. There are excellent photo opportunities at every turn, in a... More
