Easter was late this year so the festival was going on during our visit. This beautiful little town was alive with excitement, festive costumes and beautiful horse-drawn carriages . In addition, Sevilla has many quaint eateries and tiny stores with lots of souvenirs. We thoroughly enjoyed our day exploring both the city and museums.

This beautiful statue is in honor of the Mothers of the Asturians that emigrated to find a land with more opportunity. The Mother is saying goodbye to her children with the wave of her hand. The look on her face is haunting in that it is despair, fear and loneliness yet hope for a bright future. The statue is by Ramón Muriedas and was placed there in 1970. If you arrive in Gijon via cruise ship it is about a 4 mile walk to the park, but taxis are plentiful and this park might be included in a shore excursion.

For those who do not know, Becquer is the beloved romantic 19th century poet of all Spaniards. The statue of the three girls dreaming of his poetry and persecuted by cupid is builtiful. The small glorieta (encircled garden) is also a nice place to sit down and rest a little. The glorieta is one of the must see spots in the Maria Luisa park. Do not miss it.

Plaza Nueva is a lovely public square with some greenery and space to sit and relax. Plenty of shops around. The area was built on what used to be land belonging to a convent (of San Fernando), which explains I suppose the big monument in the middle of the plaza. The Town Hall is also in this area. Worth strolling around and about. It's in the middle of the city.

The column is on a roundabout just outside Maria Luisa park and celebrates the fact Elcano completed the first circumnavigation of the world. This is not a well known fact as Magellan is usually associated/credited with this feat, even though he died before completion. The reasons are mainly political (Magellan = Portuguese/Elcano = Spanish) but on the 500th anniversary of the event (2019) both countries submitted a joint application to have this historical anomaly rectified.
