While Sefi and Daniel flew off to Lisbon for 3 days, the rest of us
rented a car and drove 5 hours to Seville. We stayed in a very central
and charming Airbnb.
The weather was perfect and on our first afternoon, we wandered around the cobble-stoned streets.
The Plaza de Espana is a plaza built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. This complex is a huge half-circle with buildings continually running around the edge accessible over the moat by four bridges representing the four ancient kingdoms of Spain.
Beautiful tiled bridge
There are numerous tiled alcoves representing the 52 regions of Spain.
