Plaza de Spain

Plaza de España is one of the favorite places for tourists visiting Mendoza. An echo of Spanish culture, it embodies the friendship of the two peoples.

Plaza Ispano, as the Argentines call it, is part of the heart of Mendoza, an impressive quintet of squares. Each of them has its own character, its own aura.

The square is naturally imbued with the Spanish spirit. The main thing in it is a majestic monument depicting the union of Spain and Argentina in the images of a woman and a young girl joining hands. In the rest, you can see only Spain: everything, from the pavement to the benches and the fountain, is lined with amazing beauty mosaics. The frieze around the memorial, which tells about the discovery of America and the founding of the city, requires special attention.

The founders of all this beauty were craftsmen from Spain, so, honoring traditions and history, local artisans spend every weekend in the square of the fair. Thus, travelers after visiting the square are not only spiritual souvenirs, but also quite tangible.
