Provincial Alcoves at Plaza de España in Seville, Spain
The Plaza de España is _not_ centuries old, unlike other tourist attractions in this chock-full-of-UNESCO-world-heritage-sites country. Seville built it while preparing for the 1929 Ibero-American festival. The 'provincial alcoves' shown offer ceramic tile tributes to each of Spain's provinces.
(The Castellón province is on the east coast south of Barcelona. The container ship ferrying my earthly belongings from the U.S. hit port out that-a-way, so my Vitamix and garlic press may have toured Castellón, but I haven't. I'll have to ask their impressions the next time I chat up my kitchen appliances.)
Barcelona, Valencia and Bilbao all go by the same moniker in-country as out, but the city celebrated in this photo set is 'Sevilla' to Spaniards and 'Seville' to English speakers. I don't know why. I'm far too embarrassed by my inevitable grammar goofs to write captions in español, so 'Seville' it shall be here.
