The Square That Made Hollywood Come to Seville

You have seen this place in photographs, in films, on every travel list about Spain. Plaza de España is one of those places that somehow still exceeds expectations when you actually arrive. Fifty thousand square metres of tilework, bridges, canal and colonnade in the heart of Seville's María Luisa Park. At five in the afternoon the light hits the brick and ceramic in a way that photographs never quite capture. The crowds are part of it — they always have been. Twenty three minutes on foot through the plaza and along the exterior colonnade. No narration. No music. No commentary. Pure ambient sound. 100% original, human-made footage.
