Parque de Maria Luisa


Today it rained which is apparently a miracle in Spain before the fall. But we still went exploring the parks and gardens around the city. We went through the Jewish barrio to Maria Luisa Park which was built for the world expo in the 20s and contains La Plaza de Espana. We also passed the tobacco factory where the character Carmen from the opera worked and one of our professors happens to be an opera singer so he sang a scene.

This rainy weather must be happening all over Europe. While my daughter was in Poland in June-July they also were getting abnormally wet and cold weather! Hope the rest of your trip will be much nicer.
