Parque de María Luisa
Parque de Maria Luisa is Seville's main city park, landscaped in a romantic, semi-formal style with fountains, tiled benches, pavilions, and shaded avenues of palm and orange trees, largely laid out for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition alongside the neighboring Plaza de Espana. It's a pleasant, cooler retreat from the stone streets of the old town, especially valuable during Seville's hot summers.
Several of the exposition-era pavilions built for the 1929 fair still stand within or near the park, now used as museums or consulates, and the park connects directly into Plaza de Espana, making the two a natural combined visit.
