The buildings are impressive, but the architect forgot this is Sevilla, which is like Phoenix. It was 42C (108F) and the wide open plaza was a frying pan! More

This edifice is a Spanish monument to Spain itself. That might sound a bit strange but it works and should be a list of things to see when visiting Seville. More

One of the most spectacular plazas you would ever see! The benches with the tile seals for every major city is a must see. More

Wow. Is this impressive – huge expanse with large towers at the ends, colonnades, a grand staircase, wonderful tiled scenes of each of Spain's provinces ( and there are a lot of provinces – I tried taking pictures of all of them and unfortunately ran out of time ), a great fountain, nifty tiled benches around the perimeter set in...

Although only built in 1929, this has a real sense of history, and is very much a thing of beauty. Looking like something that you would expect to find in Las Vegas, the detail and design of the tiles are exquisite and a tribute to the artisans who produced them. There are excellent photo opportunities at every turn, in a... More

This is a unique place, with mosaics representing all the provinces in Spain. It is on a huge scale with a little river where you can hire small boats. Entry is free. More

You can relax in the shadows on the ceramic benches, and buy a couple of drinks from one of the little shops. If u are able to walk in the heat for a little longer: near the (free for EU residents) museum at the end of the park, the stands sell more cheap drinks, compared to the ones in the... More
