As one of the oldest cities in Spain, Seville is equally known for its innovative and progressive thinking. During the 1920′s, the city of Seville decided to host the Spanish-American Exhibition, with the intent of displaying the industrial and architectural advances the city had made.
That exposition served as a foundation for the growth Seville is presently experiencing, and one of the centerpieces of this growth is Maria Luisa Park.
Located in the southern end of Seville, a section of the city filled with gardens and boulevards, Maria Luisa Park is a half-mile long and consists of exotic trees such palms, orange trees, elms and Mediterranean pines. There is also an expanse of flower beds, hidden bowers, ponds and pavilions, all of which makes Maria Luisa Park not only the largest park in Seville, but also one of the most memorable and loveliest parks in Europe.
However, I think this is the result of the media wanting to save money on paper and ink by merging two stories together. That way they could make room in the periodical for what Britney Spears did last night.
As the poem states, it WAS dedicated to the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W. Bush last month during a press conference.
