Parks
& Gardens
Sevilla
is a city lined with orange trees, and in springtime the smell of orange
blossom fills the air. Thanks to its Arabic heritage, the gardens of Sevilla
are oasis of tranquillity. Most typical of all are the Alcazar?s gardens,
laid out in Arabic style, with rivulets, waterfalls, tile work and hints
of jasmine and bougainvillea.
Marva
Luisa Park: is one of the city's largest. With a surface area greater than
400,000 meters, it was originally built as a Romantic garden for the palace
of San Telmo on the occasion of the 1929 Latin American Exhibitions by
the Frenchman, Forestier.

The
Murillo Gardens: are also interesting, bordering on the walls of the Alc?zar
and leading into the Santa Cruz neighborhood. They are very Sevillian in
style, full of arcades and foliage, ceramic work and abundant flowers.

We
also recommend visiting the gardens of the Valle, adjoining a section of
the historic city wall (Itinerary III. Buses: 1, 10, 11, 12).
The
Parque de las Delicias (garden of delights), (Itinerary VI. Buses C-3,
C-4 and 5), and the Paseo del Marqu?s Alcalde de Contadero (Promenade of
the Marqu?s Alcalde de Contadero) (Itinerary VI. Buses C-3, C-4, 5) adorn
the banks of the Guadalquivir.
For
Expo 92, the city planted gardens along the right bank of the river which
leads into Torneo street, creating the Park of the Alamillo, the garden
of the Guadalquivir and the Garden of San Jer?nimo. Expo 92.
Buses:

Although
it is not exactly a garden, the inhabitants of Seville enjoy the Cemetery
of San Fernando as if it were. lts Romantic design, adorned with bower
trees, hedges, and an interesting group of mausoleums (belonging to, for
example, famous bullfighters such as Joselito el Gallo) make it a quiet
and peaceful area for relaxation.
