A common sight


you can find them everywhere in the city
a beautiful sight for the eyes, a bad smell for the nose
in front of Archbishop's Palace
or the General Archive of the Indies
or even on Constitution Avenue
and the Cathedral
with someone taking a nap in Maria Luisa's Park
or empty
ready to leave a passenger
and welcome the next one

Plaza de España

located in the middle of the parque Maria Luisa
this unique Sevillian symbol
is made up of a semicircle of astonishing magnitude
marked by two 80 meter high towers
a small river runs between these two pointed masts
staggered by bridges
and there is a walkway following a series of panels made of painted azulejos
and many tiled alcoves each representing a different province of Spain
Castellon
Coruna
Gerona
Madrid
Malaga
Tarragona
Toledo
it finished in 1928 and was used as the host country pavilion in the 1929 Expo
covered in reddish brick
cut and sized with numerous pieces of painted and glazed polychrome ceramic
a symphony of tones and shimmers that come to life in the light of dusk
representative of much of the regional architecture
a mixed style inspired by the Renaissance with typical elements from the city: exposed brick, ceramics 
and wrought iron
tiles and ceramics
in vibrant colours
splendour and grandeur
