6Plaza de España – The Heart of Andalusian Splendor
Few public squares in Europe rival the grandeur of Plaza de España, built for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. This vast, semi-circular plaza combines Moorish revival, Renaissance, and Art Deco influences in one breathtaking design.
Its curved palace-like structure, colorful ceramic tiles, and serene canal make it a favorite spot for both tourists and locals. Each of Spain’s provinces is represented with a beautifully tiled alcove—take time to spot your favorite. You can rent a rowboat and glide through the canal or simply enjoy a leisurely walk as musicians and flamenco dancers perform nearby.
The Plaza de España has appeared in films like Lawrence of Arabia and Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, adding to its cinematic charm.
