A Ride in the Park

Every Sunday so far we have gone to a large park (Maria Luisa Park) about 1.5 miles from us. Last Sunday we rented bikes and rode around the park and the surrounding area.

This is a panoramic shot of Plaza De Espana, built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The building is semicircular with a man made canal in front of it. The canal is long enough that they rent rowboats to use on it. There are six bridges over the canal to get from the central courtyard with the fountain to the building. The whole thing is very impressive.

We went back to the beach on Monday for a day trip and are taking an overnight trip to Ronda, one of the white hill towns, on Thursday and Friday. Next blog will be after we return from Ronda.

One thought on “A Ride in the Park”

  1. Have a great time in Ronda. We have very fond memories of our visit.
    We drove & parked at the edge of town because it was very crowded. They were doing a traditional bullfight. We
    made a purchase in a tiny antique store we passed. The old woman spoke no English but we managed!
    Enjoy! Looking forward to your blog!
