María Luisa Park
Parque de María Luisa
A large urban park next to Plaza de España, with palms, fountains, tiled benches and a pigeon-filled square. It was created for the 1929 exposition.
The land was originally part of the gardens of the Palacio de San Telmo. In 1893, Princess María Luisa donated it to the city council. It was later redesigned by the French landscape architect Forestier for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. The park features ponds, pavilions, tiled benches and many small monuments honoring poets. The southern Plaza de América is surrounded by pigeons, and nearby exposition buildings include the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions. Admission is free. You can rent four-wheeled pedal bikes or take a horse-drawn carriage. It is best visited together with Plaza de España.
