In Seville, they plan to introduce an additional tax for tourists
In order to preserve the architecture and beauty of the richly decorated Plaza de España, the local authorities of Seville are planning to introduce an additional tax for tourists. This measure aims to better control the influx of tourists into the city.
It is noted that Seville receives more than 3 million tourists annually, making it the third most popular city in Spain. This information was reported by The Guardian.
The mayor of Seville, Jose Luis Sanz, stated that such a fee would help regulate tourism and protect the architecture of Plaza de España. However, Sanz clarified that despite the implementation of the tax, local residents will still have free access to the site.
Plaza de España is a large semicircular square in the Neo-Moorish style, representing a magnificent architectural composition designed by architect Anibal González for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. The main building of the square was used as a filming location for the movie "Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones" in 2002. Today, this place serves as a hub of cultural activities in Seville, hosting concerts, performances, and fashion shows.
