La Alameda

La Alameda, is a garden square or mall in Seville. It was originally a promenaded public garden,

named after the eight rows of white poplars trees (álamos in Spanish) that fill its central part.

Located in the north half of the city's historic center, between the Guadalquivir River and the Macarena Brotherhood,

it was the oldest public garden in Spain and Europe.

La Alameda had a bad reputation in the past as it was associated with prostitution.

Today, La Alameda is a wonderful place for a pleasant stroll, tapas and having some fun.
