Plaza de España

The square of Spain is an urban set in which a great oval that comes to occupy almost all the public space, circumvented by a narrow road for the circulation of vehicles stands out. This oval, raised on a base of masonry, allows to level the interior enclosure of the square in which they emphasize the fountain that occupies the central space, and the banks that surround it. The fountain dates from 1955 built in masonry of exposed brick and ceramics from the Sevillian workshops of Santa Ana, following the model of the fountain of the Plaza Alta of Algeciras, also from the same period, from this date it is popularly known as Pl. de los Pescaítos. The benches are made of brick masonry with ceramic decoration, artificial stone and iron forging. The flooring, following the model of the time, was composed of slabs that matched the color of the brick.
