We walked fourther south into the Parque Maria Luisa. The map had shown a large semi-circular edifice, but hadn't quite prepared us for this.The Parque was donated to the city in 1893, and most of the landscaping and pavillions were completed by 1929 for the Ibero-American Exposition. This Plaza de Espana is the highlight of the construction.
The centre of the Plaza de Espana is dominated by this fountain providing a cooling effect of the surround air.
As you walk round the curved interio you see tower that markes the start of the huge sweep. Everywhere you looked there were displays of brilliant ceramics.
The sweep was marked off in sections. Each section dedicated to a Spanish city. A ceramic picture depicted some event or represesntation of the city and in the floor was a ceramic map with the location.
