Plaza de Espana and the University of Seville

We took the tram down to the Plaza de Espana, built as the Spanish pavilion for the World's Fair here in 1929. It's a giant semi-circle, with a moat, a fountain, and a huge plaza. Beautiful tiles represent each province of Spain, from A to Z.

Later we walked to the nearby University of Seville, which is housed in the old Royal Tobacco Factory. We each had a lemon Fanta in the student cafe, full of students with laptops; the cafe is a modern corner (modern tables, chairs and large glass doors) in an old building, but with marble floors.

Our search for a laundromat led us past this great cafe where we enjoyed a snack and conversation
Inside the cafe were the usual hams hanging by a foot...
