Spanish city Seville is considering implementing a fee for tourists visiting the Plaza de Espana to regulate the high number of visitors to this public space. Mayor Jose Luis Sanz revealed the proposed measures in a post on X, stating, "Our plan involves the closure of the Plaza de Espana and the introduction of a fee for tourists to fund its maintenance and ensure its security."
The heavily frequented site attracts a substantial daily influx of visitors and serves as a central cultural venue in Seville, hosting diverse events like concerts, plays, and fashion shows. Moreover, the Plaza de Espana is frequently utilised as a filming location.
