The symbols of the Spanish Pavilion are the sea and the sun. The pavilion is divided into two parts.

The first part is the sea 🌊
He introduced how Spain, the "Kuroshio" that created rich exchanges between East and West, and Japan have been connected by this "Kuroshio" for centuries, and how the two countries have been connected by a powerful invisible thread. The exhibit has the atmosphere of suddenly diving into the deep sea. There was also a simple explanation of the sentence with furigana in a low position so that children could read it.

The next part is the sun ☀
In the bright orange space where music streamed, the exhibition contrasted postcards (= analog) and digital communication.

Thereare shops and cafes selling wine, olive oil, goods, etc. I drank sangria at the café and went home 😅 tipsy
