Triana

Overview

Triana is Seville's most characterful barrio, across the Guadalquivir from the historic centre. It's the birthplace of flamenco's greatest artists, a centre of ceramics production, and home to the city's most authentic tapas bars.

Highlights

• Calle Betis: Riverside bars and restaurants with cathedral views.
• Ceramics tradition: Tiled facades and working pottery workshops.
• Flamenco heritage: Birthplace of legendary dancers and cantaores.

History

Historically a multicultural quarter of Roma, sailors, and potters, Triana has its own distinct identity. The residents defend their barrio's independence from 'the other side.'
