Plaza de España
Built in 1929 for the Ibero-American exposition in Sevilla, the Plaza de España celebrates a multitude of Spanish architectural styles. One of the most notable is the Neo-Mudéjar which features graceful arches and ornamentation developed for centuries in Spanish Muslim (aka Moorish) buildings. The buildings of the Plaza now house a variety of government offices and museums. On this day a wonderful flamenco performance provided entertainment in the hallway of the building behind the bridge.
I just returned from a 3-week visit to Andalucia, enjoying the remarkable food, culture, history, and biodiversity of this beautiful region of southern Spain.
