Get info from locals and go into the Flamenco shows not for tourist only for locals, you will enjoy it much.
Hotel Monte Triana (were we stayed) was in this area. Every morning we walked at a peaceful pace towards the city center along the riverbank. There are nice restaurants and tapas bars in this area and also romantic little streets.It is also less hectic then in the city center which was a 15-20 minutes walk away from our hotel.
Gives a sense of "life among the locals", especially if you go just a block or two away from the river. A thriving market, historic churches, an excellent ceramics museum, flamenco classes in the community center spilling out into the street, etc. - definitely worth a visit. Go in the late afternoon and stay through dusk to watch the lights on the Puente Isabel and in Seville across the river.
It was lovely to spend an afternoon strolling around Triana and seeing how the locals live. You almost seem to step back in time a few years with family run shops all around you. There were some beautiful buildings and churches. My favourite part was walking over the bridge and seeing the view of Triana in the sunshine. Well worth a visit.
Very busy area, not too much to see,but very helpful shopkeepers who were very courteous. Felt a safe area to visit.
The Barrio Triana is quite interesting. In the past this barrio was where they manufactured ceramic tiles used in palaces and homes. We went there and found three good ceramic tile stores. We also saw the Church of Cristo de la Expiracion and the Church of Nuestra Señora de la O.
We did not visit this area the first time we went to Seville but did this time. The shops selling ceramic tiles are just amazing.
This old town area is worth seeing, but you'll be lucky to get anything to eat or drink before 1.30pm.
We went through Triana first by Sevilla On/Off tour bus (green and yellow one) With the earphones, you got a good overview of the area. The next time we walked by ourselves and had lunch at the Mercado at the bridge. The last time was with a guide(free with On/Off bus ticket) It left at 1 pm and it was about 1 and 1/2 hours. Maria is excellent and took us to places and told us things we wouldn't have known otherwise. We finished with tapas at a place suggested by Maria. Triana gives another interesting view how the people of Seville live. You meet the guide at the Oro (Gold) Tower
it is the second side of Seville just over the river. Good for a walk before lunch or so..You can visit a market, just behind the bridge.River bank is very accessible and from there is a nice view to old town part.
