Triana sits on the west bank of the Guadalquivir and has always considered itself separate from Seville. The neighborhood produced sailors, bullfighters, ceramic artists, and more flamenco performers than anywhere else in Andalusia. It has a stubbornness that comes from being overlooked and a pride that comes from being essential.
This walk crosses the bridge and enters a neighborhood of narrow streets, tile-fronted workshops, and riverside bars where the view of the city skyline is better than anything on the other side. The Triana market, built on the foundations of the Inquisition castle, is worth a stop for the irony alone.
Nobody from Triana will tell you their neighborhood is part of Seville. Do not argue. They are right.
What you'll discover

·A chapel the size of a garage where the neighborhood's Holy Week brotherhood has met since 1620.
·4 bridges connect Triana to Seville. Locals still say they are going 'to Seville' when they cross.
