While this is the not the first time that I've posted about the Plaza de España, it continues to be a tranquil and sublime place to frequent when we're in Sevilla. As I may have mentioned, the plaza was built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition World's Fair to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits.
Let's go!

The designer combined a mix of art deco and Moorish architectural design.
The plaza has many tiled alcoves representing the major provinces of Spain.
Not my city, not Fernando's city, but Paloma's city, or
our city -- Barcelona!
Who wouldn't feel happy walking around here?
A nice frame of the south tower.
Peace.
More colorful tilework.
High ceilings with some Moorish arches.
Paloma makes a wish on the bridge with her abuelo.
On weekends, you can rent a rowboat around the half-circle and whisper sweet nothings in your honey's ear.
These fish created a circular formation just for a photo op for me.
Talk soon!
