P​​laza de España, located in Sevilla's Parque de María Luisa, was created by Aníbal González for the Ibero-American exhibition of 1929 (Expo 29). Covering the size of 5 football pitches, it remains one of Spain's most impressive emblematic attractions. The Renaissance/neo-Moorish styled site, sports a 500m canal in the centre with four bridge crossings, in which you can rent small boats to row. Each of the 48 alcoves and their benches represent the provinces of Spain, with relevant tableau and map designed on colourful azulejos. Plaza de España has also been used as a filming location for several movies over the decades, including Star Wars, Lawrence of Arabia and The Dictator.©
