A huge 3D movie theater, a monorail crossing the river, a cable car soaring over the city, or impossible pavilions. Phrases that sound like science fiction but which, nevertheless, defined the character of a Seville—already ancient and nostalgic—at the dawn of 1992. And if Seville ever enjoyed a golden age, it is, by all accounts, the Seville of Expo ’92.
Thus, the success of the hidden “Curros” cemetery at Romano Antigüedades, the themed retail space at Guasinei , and the irresistible mini “Curro” figures knitted by Dario Gurumi. From this, the idea arose to open a store centered around the 1992 World’s Fair in Seville.
The space is designed for lovers of collecting and Sevillian heritage. A tribute to one of the most iconic episodes in Seville’s recent history through souvenirs you can take home.
Where is the Expo ’92 store located, and what can you buy there?
El Baúl de Patapalo is located within the Cartuja complex—in the heart of the area that is home to the Isla Mágica theme park.This new spot is designed for those feeling nostalgic, pop culture fans, and curious tourists.
In the store, you’ll find:
- Official merchandise and retro-inspired items: from the classic metal pins featuring the international pavilions to caps and T-shirts bearing Curro’s iconic silhouette.
- Replicas, historical posters, and stationery inspired by 1990s graphic design.
- Commemorative souvenirs: the perfect items to take a piece of the spirit of La Cartuja home with you.
