Plaza Espana (Spain Square), Mendoza (must see)

Plaza España is one of the most popular squares with tourists. The square greets its guests with a typical Spanish patio and a magnificent monument depicting two women: Spain, experienced and powerful; and Argentina, young and energetic. The monument consists of seven scenes: the discovery of America, the foundation of the City of Mendoza, the missionary work of the religious orders, and scenes from "Don Quixote" and "Martin Fierro" with allusive paragraphs. The square also features a beautiful fountain right in front of the monument, completing the ensemble.
