Imagine visiting the Plaza de Espana in Sevilla, Spain during the Festival of Sevilla in April of 2023. The gardens are filled with a variety of plants and trees, with the sweet scent of orange blossoms in the air. Visitors can rent a rowboat and lazily float down a short stream or hire a horse and carriage for a leisurely ride. The highlight of the visit is the stunning building with its many tiled alcoves, each representing a different province of Spain. The street performers doing traditional Spanish Flamenco steal the show with great dancing and guitar performances that rival any paid tourist trap theater in the area. This experience is a must-see for anyone visiting Seville.

Architecturally speaking, this site c 1928 is simply magnificent!!!......a real feast for the senses and amazing photo ops!! The site is a mix of Art Deco, Baroque Revival, Moorish Revival and Renaissance Revival design. There are many gorgeous tiled alcoves designed in tribute to cities and regions in Spain. We saw a few Flamenco dancers while visiting and also visitors taking carriage rides. Nearby is Maria Luisa Park and Plaza de America which are also wonderful to visit !

Whatever time of day you visit Plaza de España, it is truly breathtaking! The sheer size of the plaza makes it feel that it’s never crowded, even if it is the most popular place to visit in Seville. If you’re from Spain, don’t miss finding the section dedicated to each province with tiles dedicated to history. It’s a must see on a trip to Seville, but I wouldn’t recommend you have to stay for hours! There was lots of flamenco dancing going on when I visited on a sunny Sunday April afternoon. Altogether pleasant - but bring water! And look for the shade!

We were treated to a free Flamenco performance by some very talented Spanish dancers on the steps of the central plaza. We very much enjoyed the music and dance and walked around the plaza, however we were mercilessly pursued by swarms of gnats the entire time! Probably breathed in a couple hundred that day! Too many gnats - but amazing place!

A wonderful large structure that dominates the plaza setting, which includes Venice like canals. Free to wonder various levels and enter a well put together military museum. Surrounding parklands a pleasure to walk through. Easy to get to by foot from cetre pf town.

Amazingly grand and cool place with fountain and garden with luxurious palace and boat ride. Gardens had Orange fruit plantaton. Local dancers for Fleminco dance. Visit after evening due to bright sunligh during day time which hurts

IMHO this is the #1 scene in Seville -- I am not saying the others are not good, but they are not so unique after you have seen so many other churches, cathedrals, squares, towers, and palaces in other parts of Spain, especially after seeing Alhambra. But this is one place you wouldn't find anywhere else that makes Seville worth visiting. So you can skip any other places if you are short on time, but not here.

We visited in May and was in awe of the beautiful buildings and the rowing lake. It was absolutely stunning. The bridges over the lake were so ornate and had been tiled with love. There were 52 mosaic tiled areas to represent the 52 Spanish provinces. Well worth a visit and a walk through the surrounding park areas.

Great way to spend a morning and just a 20 minute stroll from Hotel Dona Maria and the cathedral. Plaza de Espana is an extraordinary semicircular building with its own little waterway and a spectacular fountain. Was rated 1/407 things to do in Seville when we went in May...

What a great place! Well worth a visit. Beautiful architecture and tiling. Fountain in the centre. Lovely place for a stroll. There's also a military museum on the site if you are interested to visit. Somewhere to get tea/ coffee/ water would have been good.
