Om

Raske fakta: A semi-circular plaza encircling a large fountain covers about 50,000 square meters and features 48 tiled alcoves, each representing a different Spanish province. Its canals span 515 meters and are crossed by four bridges symbolizing ancient kingdoms of Spain.

Høydepunkter: Every tiled alcove showcases detailed ceramic benches painted with the historical scenes and coat of arms of each province, creating an open-air map of Spain. The central fountain often hosts local musicians playing classical guitars, adding a charming soundtrack to the ornate surroundings.

Insidertips

Wear comfortable shoes for exploring the large plaza and walking over tiled bridges.
Photograph the alcoves in the soft light of early morning for reduced glare and vibrant colors.
Skip weekends if possible to enjoy the plaza without heavy crowds.
Bring a light jacket for the open colonnades as it can get breezy near the water even on sunny days.
