SEVILLE : Spain Invites World
The first--and, to Spanish organizers, the most important--half of a multibillion-dollar doubleheader celebration marking the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ voyage west opens in this Andalusian capital Monday as the world’s fair begins a 165-day run.
Called Expo, the fair features exhibits from 110 countries and 63 specially built pavilions that are expected to draw up to 18 million visitors by Oct. 12, Columbus Day.
The other cornerstone of the year-long celebration known as Espana ’92 is the Summer Olympics beginning July 25 in Barcelona.
