Seville Airport was renovated and expanded and the new Plaza de Armas intercity bus station was inaugurated on 31 March 1992.

Five more new bridges were built over the Guadalquivir river: Alamillo, Barqueta, Cartuja, Cristo de la Expiración, and Delicias.

Expo '92 was known for its massive site covering 215 hectares (530 acres) of the Isla de La Cartuja, a place of reference for Columbus for his voyage to the New World, and required at least several days to visit most of the pavilions.

It was also known for its numerous spectacular gates and bridges, and the diversity of transport within the expo site from bus to ferry boat, to cable car and monorail.

[3] The expo also gave an impressive architectural tour of the world, with many countries vying for the position of the most inventive or creative pavilion structure.

To offset costs by developing nations, and to allow a first-ever representation by every Latin American nation in an universal exhibition, a permanent monumental structure, the Plaza de América was constructed, a large enclosed plaza-type building in a rustic red colour which also hosted a special Exhibition on the Gold of South America.

It has the shape of a big white bird with the legs of an elephant, whose long conical beak and crest had the colours of the rainbow.

[1] Curro was revealed on 14 March 1989 in Madrid, and he was officially presented in the Plaza de España of Seville, in a big fest of light and sound on 22 April 1989, three years before the fair's inauguration.

[16] The hot Sevillian summer was largely abated by a microfilter water air conditioning system throughout the site, principally along the main avenues and streets, under canopied sections both of tensile fabric and greenery.
