Gorgeous park in Sevilla!…read more This park is home to the famous Plaza de Espana pavillion as well as numerous other statues, water fountains, and other pavillions. The mujedar pavillion is quite striking. Worth walking through the whole park.

One of my fond memories from my last visit to Seville in 2012 is strolling this park to the Plaza…read morede Espana, and fifty countries later, it is still one of my all-time favorites. From the river, walk straight across the park to the plaza, or catch one of the many horse carriages giving 30-minute tours. Shady, with numerous paths criss-crossing the park, there are flowers, benches, toilets, and carts selling water bottles, hats, fans, and trinkets. Busy with families on weekends, one end is filled with the archaelogy museum, while the palace is on the other. Many buildings from the 1929 expo still line the park.

Many options to take lots of steps down to beaches to explore close up the wild rock formations or lay on the beach. Luckily we had perfect weather of 60 F degrees and sunny.

I would totally recommend getting a map to get the full experience. I believe there is bike and kayak rentals there which I totally plan on checking out. If I had a choice between walking or biking I would choose to bike just to see as much as this place as possible. :) I saw people there with pets so I'm assuming it's pet friendly.

The views are gorgeous, and I love that the boardwalk leads you to different parts of the beach, gazebos to hang out under as well as benches to take in the scenery, into the forest, and back to the city. There's also a part of the boardwalk that leads you straight to a restaurant on the beach called "Chiringuito Las Dunas." Take a walk with your loved one during sunset to enjoy the peaceful forest, views of the beach, then surprise them with the restaurant on the shore. Or walk the path first thing in the morning with some coffee before it's too hot out.

Camino Natural de Rota is a series of free, public, boardwalk paths that lead from the NW beaches…read moreof Rota, down to the Paseo Marítimo de la Costilla. Along their way, they snake through the sandy pine forests of the park for the Corrales de Rota, as well as other areas leading to roads in town, such as near the Botanical Gardens, and soccer field. The Camino follows the beach, outside the dunes, but is not always on or in view of the beach. Inside the Corrales de Rota parklands, the Camino makes meandering paths, in various directions. Every so often, a path will lead to the beach, and it will have a pagoda just on the beach, which serves as a great lookout / shelter / resting spot. These pagodas also exist along the main path leading across town to the Paseo Marítimo, but are much fewer along there. Note that while the Camino will get you to the Paseo Marítimo, and then into town, neither walkway is a direct route into the downtown or old town, so if you are intent on walking but pressed for time, I would consult a map to get there most directly along the streets. All of the paths we traveled (quite a lot) were wheelchair / stroller accessible. I cannot say if every inch of them are this way, but the majority is for sure. The paths allow dogs, bikes, joggers, and of course, walkers. Paths are accessible 24 hours. The paths and scenery of the Camino are beautiful. There is a lot of money and care invested into these paths, which add so much functionality and facility to Rota. Because of this, I was surprised and disappointed at the litter and graffiti noticeable along the trails. Neither issue was constant, but present, nonetheless. The Camino also passes an abandoned 20thC military camp, which attracts the town's homeless population. This camp is fenced in, with no access to the Camino, and there is no apparent safety concern for visitors. While there are some very cool, very old cultural treasures in Rota, I recommend the Camino Natural de Rota right up there as a top thing to do when visiting this town. They are a great way to see and feel the nature of the parks and beaches, and to watch locals enjoying their town.

These 8500 square meters of gardens were donated to the city of Seville by monarch Alfonso XIII, in…read more1911 (they used to be orchards on the grounds of the Real Alcázar). The gardens were named after famed Sevillian painter, Bartolomé Murillo, in 1918. Along the garden path, Paseo de Catalina de Ribera (named after the founder of the Hospital de las Cinco Llagas), you will find the biggest Magnolia tree you have ever seen. I could sit and look at it all day. GORGEOUS! (There is also a monumental Liana tree deeper in the garden.) An impressive statue dedicated to Christopher Columbus sits along the Paseo de Catalina de Ribera. These gardens border the southern edge of the Barrio de Santa Cruz, making for a beautiful entry into this old historic quarter. There are bike rentals at the southern end of the Paseo de Catalina de Ribera. The gardens are formal in design, and very flat of terrain, thus they are easily walkable, and accessible to disabled persons.
