From El Prado, you walk via Plaza de España into the romantic greenery of Parque María Luisa. You will find peace and quiet.
This district is best known for the bus station of the same name. Last but not least, El Prado ('the meadow') used to have very different uses. In the 18th century, for instance, the Inquisition's pyre was located here and the first versions of the Feria de Abril de Sevilla were organised. The adjoining Parque María Luisa was part of the gardens of the San Telmo Palace until Princess María Luisa donated the huge plot of land to the people of Seville in 1893. The beautiful Plaza de España was added later. For a beautiful park and a peaceful, convivial atmosphere, this district is the place to be.
