The main square in the center of Jerez is a great place to spend time

Andalucia Tour ~ Jerez The Plaza Mamelon connects the historic and commercial centre of Jerez with Avenida Mayor Álvaro Domecque and was one of the main roads of urban expansion and development during the 20th century. It is called the "Alameda of Seville", but people have always called it the Plaza Mamelon because it is located on a low, nipple-shaped hill. In 1893, the plaza was beautified, and in 1952 the Monument to San Juan Bautista de La Sal was added. In 1987 architect Juan Ramón Díaz Pinto created a large lake in the center of the square. When the city hosted the World Equestrian Games in 2002, the Gran Break sculpture complex by sculptor Eduardo Soriano was added to the nearby plaza area. The bronze equestrian monument depicts a chariot pulled by five horses. The carriages were occupied by characters dressed in traditional Andalusian costumes, and some passengers sat alongside the ladies. At night the square is illuminated by colored lights reflecting on the lake, making it an evocative place. #11月好去2024 #SpainTravel #Andalucia #CityCenter #Relax #Leisure
