Exploring an ancient city so full of culture and history at every corner can be tiring for even the most enthusiastic of travelers. It’s natural to seek out a bench by a sidewalk for a quick breather, to simply let time flow by as you take in the sights and sounds, the honking cars, the couples strolling by leisurely. In Seville, there is a space at the very center of the city where tranquility resides and distractors are walled off. These are the Gardens of Murillo. This small collection of trees and watering spouts began as a private enclosure known as the Retiro Gardens or Orchards before it was donated to the city council more recently. In line with embodying the city’s spirit, colorful ceramic sculptures and azulejos which the city is known for abound at unexpected corners for you to admire. That short dense tree by the glade might not seem like much but it might just be the park’s 100 year old ficus, planted alongside delicate white night jasmines. This is your space for a casual stroll before dinner or late at night to simply soak in Seville’s atmosphere.
