Begin your journey in the heart of Seville's largest and most beloved green oasis, the María Luisa Park. As you meander through lush landscapes, your expert guide will share tales of the park's 19th-century origins when it was generously donated to the city by the Duchess of Montpensier, Infanta Maria Luisa Fernanda.
Among the verdant foliage, you'll spot a variety of plant species, magnificent fountains, and unique monuments. Don't miss the 'Glorieta de Bécquer', a monument inspired by the stages of love as depicted by the renowned poet Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. Tip: Pack a leisurely picnic to enjoy here; a great date idea.
Next, get ready to be mesmerized by the iconic Plaza de España, a breathtaking blend of Renaissance and neo-Moorish architecture built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition. As you step into this semi-circular plaza, your guide will highlight the detailed azulejos (ceramic tiles) that represent historical scenes from each Spanish province. A delightful game of 'find your province' awaits!
Discover the plaza's cinematic fame from being in films like "Star Wars" and "Lawrence of Arabia", and its role in Seville's history, all while marveling at the ornate bridges and intricate brickwork. This tour, rich in history and natural beauty, will captivate your senses and leave you with unforgettable memories of Seville's grandeur.
