Plaza de España
I can't tell you what it is without thinking about my family history and my childhood where every Sunday I came here with my parents. You have to see it with your own eyes. Many movies have been filmed here, such as Lawrance of Arabia or Star Wars.
María Luisa's Park
The old garden of María Luisa de Borbón, Duchess of Montpensier, during the 19th century, which was donated to the city by her and which is part of our memories. A very special place for locals full of charming corners dedicated to literature and music.
America Square
The genius of the exhibition, Aníbal González, designed many buildings and here we have three more that you are going to love. A wonderful place to end a wonderful tour.
