Seville parks
Seville is one of the most important cities in Spain due to its predominant history, music, people and natural resources. According to history, the Greek demigod Heracles founded the city of Seville and its origins have strong links with the Tartessian civilization. With the arrival of the Moors, the architecture of the city changed, as well as the importance of green areas, which was highlighted dramatically.
Dotted with second to none natural areas and tourist attractions, Seville offers a wide range of parks and squares, where it is possible to experience the unique atmosphere of the city, while falling in love with the Andalusian culture. Every afternoon, during the famous siesta-break, hundreds of Sevillians look for shelter from the sun heat under the very typical orange trees, while enjoying the refreshing sound of the water fountains, like in a fairy tale picture.
Here is a list of some of the many Seville parks; you should visit while staying inSeville:
Maria Luisa Park (Parque de Maria Luisa)- Avda. de la Palmera
Back in 1893, Infanta Maria Luisa, daughter of Charles III of Spain, donated half of San Telmo palace’s garden to the city of Seville. In 1929 with the celebration of the Iberoamerican exhibition, the park was renovated by architects Aníbal González y J. C. N. Forestier who gave the park the aspect that still keeps.

We’re staying on the Costa del Sol with a rental car and want to take day trips to the cities listed above, in the question. Ideally, we’d like to park on the outskirts of each city and take public transportation or a taxi in so that we don’t have to worry about parking or thieves etc.
