Andalucía de los Niños

In Seville, Andalucía de los Niños is an open-air miniature park created for the 1992 Universal Exposition. After Expo 92, the 10,000-square-metre space became a permanent showcase of Andalusian heritage.

Seventy-two scale models represent buildings, monuments, landscapes and infrastructure from all eight Andalusian provinces. Built at a one-to-thirty-three scale, they include Seville Cathedral, Córdoba’s Roman Bridge and Granada’s Alhambra. Cádiz appears through the Tarifa Wind Farm, Jerez Circuit and Chipiona Lighthouse, while Málaga contributes the Tajo de Ronda. Ignacio Aguilar García led the project, whose models mainly use weather-resistant plastic for outdoor display.

The park also includes a miniature railway, boats, cars, figures and urban furniture that animate the scenes. Native Andalusian bonsai and pre-bonsai trees add greenery around the architectural models. The Alhambra model, once the largest at 21 metres, was rebuilt after a fire in 2005. Alongside castles and cathedrals, the park preserves a miniature railway moving through Andalusia’s landmarks.
