Why Maria Luisa Park matters
The Parque de Maria Luisa is the green lung of Seville, a garden of palm trees, tiled fountains, pigeons and shade. It was part of the grounds of a palace and was redesigned for the 1929 exposition. It is the perfect place to recover from the heat of a summer day.
Talking points
