Alamillo Park

This guide to Alamillo Park in Seville follows the retired matador Jose Garcia Rodriguez, known as El Algabeño, who in 1926 signed eighteen deeds to stitch together the farm that once stood here. You'll hear about his sons, one a rejoneador who died young in 1936, and his younger brother Antonio, a lawyer for Seville's religious brotherhoods who inherited and expanded the estate after the war. The narration lingers on the hand-painted ceramic medallions Antonio commissioned for the manor house, each depicting a scene from the Rocio pilgrimage.
