This well shot, silent home movie from the 1930s shows a visit to Spain including Seville, which is seen at :21. The person who filmed it apparently voyaged to Europe aboard a large, twin stack ocean liner which is seen at the :30 mark. The Tower of Gold in Seville is seen at :46, and the Columbus Memorial and Cathedral at 1:04. The Hall of the Ambassadors of the Alcazar is seen at 1:58. At 4:53 the Exposition buildings are seen. (This is most likely a reference to the the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 [Spanish: Exposición iberoamericana de 1929] a world’s fair held in Seville, Spain, from 9 May 1929 until 21 June 1930.)

At 6:11 on the way to Granada, a stop to see the wine production center of Jerez and then at 6:49, the city of Cordova. The Cathedral Mosque is seen at 8:42.
