Plaza de España
Plaza de España's sweeping tiled crescent and canal make it Seville's most photographed square — and, as a free open space, one with nowhere to stash the suitcase you dragged from the station.
About Plaza de España
- Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, a Seville landmark
- Free to enter, making it one of the city's busiest attractions
- Featured in Star Wars and Lawrence of Arabia
- Set within the Parque de María Luisa, just south of the centre
- No cloakroom or lockers anywhere on the square
Plaza de España is Seville's grandest set piece, a sweeping half-moon of brick, tile and balustrade built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition and familiar from films such as Star Wars and Lawrence of Arabia. Ringed by a canal you can row and lined with ceramic alcoves for each Spanish province, it is one of the city's most photographed spots and, being free to enter, one of its busiest. Set inside the Parque de María Luisa just south of the centre, it draws a steady tide of visitors who often walk over from the cathedral or arrive straight from Santa Justa with bags in tow. There is no cloakroom anywhere on the square, so dropping luggage at a partner near Puerta de Jerez first lets you stroll the bridges and enjoy the park completely unencumbered.

Frequently asked questions
Is there anywhere to store luggage at Plaza de España?
No. The plaza is an open public square inside a park, with no cloakroom or lockers of any kind. To wander its bridges and tiled alcoves without dragging a case, store your bags at a partner near Puerta de Jerez or the cathedral first. Booking online means it's sorted before you arrive.
Can I visit Plaza de España with my luggage between check-out and my train?
You can walk through, but hauling a suitcase over the bridges and cobbles is awkward and leaves it unattended for photos. It's far more relaxing to drop your bags at a nearby storage point and stroll the square hands-free before heading to Santa Justa.
How far is Plaza de España from the city centre and storage?
It's roughly a 15-minute walk south from the cathedral through the old town. Storage partners cluster nearer the centre around Puerta de Jerez and Avenida de la Constitución, so leaving bags there on your way down lets you enjoy the square and the María Luisa Park unburdened.
