Seville's Spanish Square: A journey back in time between carriages and flamenco

Horse-drawn carriage leaving the Spanish square in Seville in the evening of a spring afternoon. This image took me back to the past when horse-drawn carriages were the only means of transport available and only for the wealthier classes.

In the vicinity of the square, there is a horse-drawn carriage station. I was shocked to see that even the drivers passing in front of the main building always turned their heads, mesmerized by the beauty of the building.

Access from the square to the main building is only possible via several bridges located along a circular pond.

There is no doubt that viewing the square and the main buildings of the square from the terraces that can be visited is a real delight. In my case, as the visit was at sunset, the golden light that illuminated the square was fascinating.

The fully navigable pond with small boats reminded me of my first boat ride with my partner many years ago. Boat rides are always romantic and in a place like this they are even more so.

At the same time, the pond is a special place for reflex hunters. I was delighted to spend about 10 minutes waiting for the best moment to capture this photo of the north tower.

And discovering a flamenco tablao near the main building was a spectacle for the ears and the eyes.

Lots of energy and Andalusian passion. Long live flamenco

Hello friends,

This is my entry to Qurator's Photo Quest: Sepia

On one of my last visits to Seville I visited an idyllic place, the Plaza de España.

I love visiting this square where you can travel back in time in the 21st century and see horse-drawn carriages passing through the square every few minutes.

It is a trip to the past that you will fall in love with, especially with the warm light of the sunset in spring. As was the case with the photos I am sharing.

An important part of the beauty of the square lies in its fully navigable semicircular pond where one often sees couples strolling hand in hand. I remember with nostalgia the walk I took years ago with my partner around this pond.

But without a doubt, the most beautiful thing is that you can easily come across a group of flamenco musicians and dancers who harmonise the square in exchange for generous donations.

Long live flamenco and the Plaza de España in Seville.

Greetings to you.

Wow the Spanish square in Seville looks so lovely. I know I'd love to explore such places too. Now I wish I traveled more when I could. LOL! Sharing the photos in sepia seems to take us back in time. Too awesome! Have a fantastic week ahead!

Nice pics in sepia... We seem to be returning to the days of the horse-drawn carriages.
Have a great day

As there is something old like the horse-drawn carriage I liked the idea of editing the post in sepia.

I see comments that give me the confirmation that I got the editing right.
