Seville at the Ibero‑American Exposition, 1929
Sevilla in 1929 is a city hosting the Ibero‑American Exposition, when newly built pavilions and the crescent of the Plaza de España announce Spain’s regional and overseas ties. This walk visits the exposition buildings in María Luisa Park, the newly polished Hotel Alfonso XIII and the bright ceramic work of Triana, passing flamenco cafés cantantes, busy shopping streets and the riverfront life along the Guadalquivir.
37 scenes — 25 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Seville as it stood in 1929 (“Ibero-American Exposition of 1929”).
