• What to See
• Tourist Attractions in Seville

Humble, simple, and authentic . Sitting on the other side of the River Guadalquivir and linked to the rest of the city via the Triana Bridge , Triana is the most charming and lively neighborhood in Seville .

The Triana neighbourhood is one of the underpinning elements of Sevillian culture, a breeding ground of flamenco singers, dancers and guitarists and a neighbourhood of potters that group together in the Plaza del Altozano square, next to the Triana Bridge.

The origins of the neighbourhood can be traced back in history to when the Roman legions established themselves there. The Almohads built a rudimentary bridge that linked the neighbourhood with the city, and that was later turned into the Triana Bridge .

With a long-standing seafaring tradition , Triana was home to many of the sailors who sailed to the recently discovered continent of America, and whilst the river has been a source of wealth and growth, flooding has also caused devastation in the neighbourhood.

What to See in Triana

In a neighbourhood that's as full of life as Triana, it's hardly necessary to highlight places to visit, as the natural pull and charm of its streets are so inviting to visitor s. Having said that, here are some places which deserve special attention:

• Castillo de San Jorge (Castle of Saint George): built on top of an old Visigothic fort, it currently houses exhibitions about the dark past regarding the Spanish Inquisition.
• Triana Market : one of the best ways of feeling the vibe of this neighbourhood is by visiting the local market in the morning and discovering its fruit, meat and vegetable stalls.
• Calle Betis : running parallel to the river, with its colourful façades this is one of the city's most emblematic streets.
• Triana Bridge : linking Triana to the historical centre of the city, it offers fabulous views of both banks of the River Guadalquivir.

Tours around Triana

• To discover the neighbourhood in its entirety and enjoy it to the fullest, you can reserve one of the following tours:
• Flamenco : Triana is famous for being the birthplace of flamenco, and there is no better way to witness why the neighbourhood is so well-loved than by seeing an authentic flamenco show .
• Tapas : the neighbourhood has countless tapas bars and restaurants.
• Triana Night Tour : discover the mysteries and legends dating back hundreds of years on this night tour of the neighbourhood . 

To the west of the city, on the banks of the River Guadalquivir.

Interesting streets and squares in Triana

Plaza del Altozano

It is the most emblematic place of the neighbourhood and the entrance from the Triana bridge, in Roman times Ante Ostianum. Here we can see gardens and regionalist buildings, such as numbers 1 and 5, or the Murillo Pharmacy.

The Plaza del Altozano is the main entrance to Triana, the square from which the main streets begin

The Triana Market is also worth a mention.

As are the remains of the Castle of San Jorge, headquarters of the prison of the Inquisition in Seville .

Other attractions in the square include the Restaurante María Trifulca, the old Sevilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda Maritime Station and the monuments dedicated to Juan Belmonte and Flamenco Dance.

The Capillita del Carmen , or del Puente, from the beginning of the 20th century, a regionalist work in exposed brick and ceramics by Aníbal González, deserves special attention. Formed by two connected bodies, a low building with a ceramic-covered dome, above which there are sculptures of Santa Justa and Rufina. Next to it is a tall, slender bell tower.

The main streets of the neighbourhood lead off this square.

Visit the Triana market, it is pleasant, varied and popular. You have tapas options and can buy Andalusian gastronomic souvenirs

Calle Betis   

Bordering the river it is ideal for walking and contemplating the Guadalquivir and the Sevillian monuments: Torre del Oro, Giralda, Cathedral, Plaza de Toros, etc. It ends at the Plaza de Cuba and the San Telmo bridge.

It was a former wharf area.

Today, we can see its buildings where popular, modern and stately houses alternate such as the House of the Columns , which was the headquarters of the school of Mareantes, the College of Christ the King , built on the site of a former convent, and the abandoned 18th century House of Monipodio , named by Cervantes when he imagined that it was the house of this character in his novel Rinconete y Cortadillo. A plaque on the façade commemorates this fact.

There is a nice riverside promenade on this street, with spectacular views.

Eminently touristy, with numerous quality bars and restaurants, many of them with attractive terraces, such as Abades or Rio Grande. In recent years the banks of the river have been cleaned up with a landscaped promenade.

The Velá de Santiago y Santa Ana , known in recent years as the Velá de Triana, is held in this street in July.

Calle Pureza

Parallel to the aforementioned street, it is the heart of the neighbourhood where we find the 18th century Chapel of the Sailors, home to the brotherhood of the Esperanza de Triana, one of the city’s most beloved religious ‘images’ which is brought out during the Madrugá Holy Week processions.

On Calle Pureza visit the chapel of Esperanza de Triana and find a bar for breakfast or tapas

Next is the Parish of Santa Ana , Cistercian Gothic.

Among its buildings of typical Trianero design, we see the Casa de las Columnas (House of the Columns) Civic Center , former headquarters of the school, brotherhood and Hospital of Mareantes

Calle San Jacinto

Large pedestrian shopping street, which starts from the Altozano. The regionalist buildings from the beginning of the 20th century stand out, such as the house at number 2, the work of Espiau Muñoz, the old Casa Socorro , nº 23-27, a magnificent building from 1928, and the building nº 22 and 24, for the exhibition of the Casa Mensaque.

The Casa de los Mensaque , nº 33, is a magnificent Sevillian courtyard house from 1900, today’s Triana municipal district.

Chapel of the Virgen de la Estrella, from where this popular brotherhood of Palm Sunday departs.

Church of San Jacinto, a large temple attached to the convent of the Dominicans.

Calle Alfarería

Parallel to the above where the classic ceramic workshops of Triana were located, characterised by its neighbourhood patios or Corrales, bordered by houses and with a fountain in the centre. The one at number 85, the oldest, which dates from the 19th century, and those at numbers 8 and 10 are particularly noteworthy.

Cerca Hermosa , nº 32, is one of the largest nineteenth and early twentieth-century Triana Corrales , although some are very recent. Unlike other patios, the residents here are mostly the owners of the properties and they keep it in good condition.

The Corral de los Corchos, at number 138, built around 1940, is a courtyard with a central fountain and lamps on the walls, most of its inhabitants worked in the cork factory that used to be in La Cartuja.

The old workshop and house of Cerámicas Montalvan , created in 1874, is at number 21. See the regionalist building of Talavera Heredia, on the corner of Calle Covadonga , where we can see several tiles and the House of Artisans , which came to house up to eighteen workshops.

Visit House number 23, the old Nuestra Señora de la O Artistic Ceramics Factory . It was founded in 1901 by Manuel García-Montalván.

At number 12 is the Santa Isabel ceramics shop, founded by Sebastián Ruiz Jurado in 1939.

At number 8 is the Casa Grande , built by the architect José Espiau for storage of earthenware and glass, later converted into a neighbourhood patio. The famous singer Marifé de Triana  lived at number 94 on this street.

Between this street and Calle Castilla are the best ceramic shops in Triana, and in Calle Antillano Campos, between Calle Callao and Calle San Jorge, is the Museum of Ceramics .

Triana district of Seville

Barrio de triana, a neighborhood of artisans and flamenco.

Visit Barrio de Triana in Seville? The charming and colourful district of Triana on the other side of the Guadalquivir. A quarter of artisans and flamenco.

Triana Seville

Triana is the district located on the other side of the Guadalquivir in Seville and is accessible by the bridge 'Puente de Isabel II'. It is a lively working-class neighbourhood that has produced quite some famous bullfighters and flamenco dancers. Triana is not a district with spectacular sights. Rather, it is an authentic quarter interlaced with small streets that are a pleasure to wander through. Although this was originally the most important district in Seville, you will find surprisingly few tourists here.

Historically, the Triana district was central to all major (water) roads of the city. This commercial district was famous for its typical Azulejos tiles and pottery. Azulejos are ceramic tiles with a typical blue painting. After Guadalquivir silted down, Triana became even more of a working-class district.

Places to visit in 'Barrio de Triana'

The Santa Ana Church of 1276 is the most famous church of this district. According to legend, children who are baptised here will receive a good voice for flamenco. The 'Iglesia Santa Ana' is open for visits (Monday to Thursday, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.).

Another church is ' La Capilla de los Marineros ' in the street Calle Pureza 52. This is the chapel of the marines with the statue of the Virgin Esperanza de Triana. During the Semana Santa, this statue is carried back and forth across the city to the Seville Cathedral .

The Triana district is a nice addition to your city trip. Wander through the streets or relax on one of the terraces or restaurants ( Calle Betis ) on the colourful boulevard of the Guadalquivir. In the evening you have a beautiful view here.

Furthermore, the Mercado de Triana , the daily fresh market is worth a visit. Here the local residents come for a rich and varied selection of fruits, vegetables, meat, herbs and fish in the morning. Be sure to try some dishes at the small eateries.

Flamencoshows in Triana

If you want to see a real flamenco show, visit one of the following flamenco shows in the Triana district :

• Pura Esencia (Calle Betis, 56), daily shows ( book your tickets )
• Teatro Flamenco Triana (Calle Pureza, 76), daily shows ( book your tickets )
• Baraka Sala Flamenca (Calle Pages del Corro, 70), Wednesday to Sunday 22:30 ( book your tickets )
• El Regoneo (Calle Betis, 31) starts from 24:00
• Lo Nuestro (Calle Betis, 31A, next to El Regoneo)

What To Do in Triana Seville: The Wild Side of the City

May 30, 2023

Looking for what to do in Triana, Seville? Welcome to the intoxicating district that runs along the wrong side of the tracks on the Guadalquivir River. A world of markets, ceramics and great views await. Simply put, it’s one of the best things to do in Seville.

Triana works well as part of this southern Spain itinerary through Andalucia.

Table of Contents

What to Do in Triana Seville

When I used to live in Seville, Triana was my favourite neighbourhood. Perhaps because it used to be “the wrong side of the tracks.” Perhaps because of the spirit of exploration, the former home to the sailors who set off to find the so-called New World.

Triana scorches like a spotlight when it comes to local tradition. You’ll find cafes and bars, religious processions, ceramic workshops and, well the Inquisition.

A Handy Guide on What to do in Triana, Seville

If you’re short on time, cross the Puente Isabel bridge to Triana for a morning or afternoon. As long as it’s not too hot, you can cross off most of the highlights pretty quickly. 

But if you have time, spend a day here, moving slowly, following the crowds, holding the ceramics and pondering the history…

And make sure to spend plenty of time people-watching with locals from the comfort of the tapas bars.  

Capilla del Carmen

This tiny chapel lives just across the bridge that connects Triana to the rest of Seville, its blue and yellow ceramic dome shining like a landmark.

 Although its vision of Spain seems centuries old, it was actually only completed in 1928, designed by the same architect who produced the resplendent Plaza de España, the sweeping architecture on the other side of the river. Officials destroyed the original chapel during a civil engineering project tin order to widen the bridge.

Triana Market

Locally known as the Mercado de Triana ( Calle San Jorge, 6,) Triana market is where I met my friend with the knife and the bull’s head. This isn’t one of those gentrified markets selling only sweets and souvenirs. With real meat and real knives, this is the real deal. 

The current market sits on the remains of the San Jorge Castle (Castillo San Jorge), home of the former Spanish Inquisition. It seems so strange to wander freely over land that tortured and captured before.

But this spot attracted traders long before that, with Moorish records reaching right the way back to the 12th century for this handy riverside spot.

And besides, in many parts of Europe, if not the world, almost every soil has a past.

When to visit Triana Market: like so much of the city, things start late here in Triana. The market is open from 9 until 3 Monday to Saturday and between 12 and 5 on Sunday.

Shop for Those Famous Ceramics

Once upon a time, nearly all the ceramics in the western world came from the tiny workshops of Triana. Ceramics mingled with ship building along these banks before Columbus headed out on the voyage that changed the world. 

Even now, most street signs and house numbers across Spain copy the style of the Triana azulejos, even if they’re not all entirely authentic and original. 

Look out for Cerámica Santa Ana (Calle San Jorge, 31)  and  Cerámica Triana   (Calle Callao, 14) for souvenirs and signs of skill.

To delve deeper into the subject, visit the museum dedicated to the art, the Centro Cerámica , which gives guided tours in English and Spanish.

The Other Side of the Columbus Voyage

The history books may focus on the Kings and Queens at the top, but Columbus needed a crew to man his fleet as he mistakenly searched for India. 

The money came from the palace across the river; the workforce came from Triana. 

For all the terrible things that came from this journey of “discovery,” it’s still humbling to imagine the impoverished sailors waving farewell to their families on this spot, unsure if they would ever return.

As a Catholic country, much of this history is preserved in religious ways. The Sailor’s Chapel ( Calle Pureza, 51)  is one such example. Home to “the Brotherhood of Hope,” it houses one of the most important cofradias in Seville, known as the Esperanza de Triana.

Each year, during Semana Santa or Holy Week, the brotherhood carries the cofradia through the streets in an elaborate procession.

The Church of Santa Ana

Triana, like the rest of Seville, overflows with churches. But if you only make time for one in Triana, make it the Gothic-Mudejar church of Santa Ana.

Stroll Along Calle Betis for the View

If I had to choose a favourite spot within a favourite neighbourhood, it would be the Calle Betis street within Triana, Seville. This riverside street provides great views of the landmark Torre del Oro and the edge of the Santa Cruz Old Quarter. It also makes the perfect place to bar hop and call it a cultural experience. 

Outdoor cafes line the street in Triana and locals start enjoying cerveza, in moderation, before lunch. It’s also a poignant place to pause and imagine the hopes, dreams, gold, exploits and misery that departed and arrived along here when Seville was one of the most important cities in the world.

Guided Tours of Triana

Do you need to take a tour through the Triana neighbourhood? Absolutely not. It’s small and compact and best explored by meandering around. 

However. 

There are some things I’d always recommend you try, such as food tours and cooking lessons. 

In Triana, you can take a cooking lesson within the market through Get Your Guide, which is easy to book on your phone and easy to cancel until 24 hours before hand. It’s a nice thing to do before catching a flamenco show back on the main side of the river.

A Travel Story From Triana

“Take a photo of him,” she says, her eyes smoky with eyeliner.

I blink at the head on the wall.

“He’s the most photographed bull in Seville,” she explains, slashing flesh beneath her knife.

“He has no ear. You know what that means?”

She waves the blade. I take a gulp.

“It means it must have been a very good fight.” We’re talking about the local tradition. When a matador performs well, he slices off the bull’s ear as a trophy for the most beautiful woman in the crowd. But only after a “good” fight.

“Very good,” she drops the meat onto the scales. “A very good fight.”

This was the kind of thing I didn’t know before I lived in Seville. 

Triana Seville: The Inquisition

It’s Saturday morning and I’m wandering through the shadows of Triana’s covered market, close to the ruins of the Spanish Inquisition. Seville has a reputation for passion, for flamenco, and the blood and dust of the bullring. Triana, on the “wrong” side of the river, is its wild and wayward cousin.

Triana prides itself on partying the hardest – and in a city that starts dinner at ten and hits the streets at midnight, that’s saying something.

It prides itself on its ceramics and on its controversial place in history (the sailors alongside a certain Christopher Columbus  all came from this part of Spain. You’ll hear how the accent is similar to much of South America.) It even tries to claim both the music and dance of flamenco as its own.

Yet Triana doesn’t feel like a place that lives in the past. More that it’s so alive, it hoists its history along on its shoulders.

Processions and Azulejos

On almost any given Sunday, to the scent of incense and the sound of a sorrowful band, floats wobble through the streets, bearing life-sized figures of Christ balanced on Triana’s strongest men. It’s a fascinating sight, with men, women and children decked in gold-trim costumes, cardigans and velvet breeches, while constantly chatting into mobile phones.

Despite the chaos, Triana still has a few streets that offer a moment of calm: Calle Pelay Correa, Calle Torrijos and Calle de la Pureza. Whitewashed, with a mustard-yellow trim and lines of soft-scented orange trees, they’re like the famed streets of the Santa Cruz Quarter – only without the tourists.

Even the underside of balconies are decorated with glazed azulejos tiles. Painted in canary yellow, olive green and a decadent blue,  these tiles from Triana’s workshops have spread across Seville, Spain, and the world.

No room for the Squeamish

Back in the market, there’s no room for the squeamish. Tongues sit stacked together and whole legs of cured jamon hang by their hoofs from the ceiling. Fish mouths gape open as a matriarch guts and fillets the rest with the slickness of a magician with a deck of cards.

I hurry past, to the frutas y verduras counter that brims with pomegranates, apples, pimientos and plenty of cartoon-shaped squashes. Wherever you are in Triana, you have to shout to be heard, be it in markets, bars, streets or religious processions. Nowhere is safe from the chopped and diced fragments of conversation.

By now, I’m at the edge of the Puente de Isabel II, opposite the entrance to Triana’s covered market and the curious  Capillita del Carmen chapel. With my blonde hair and pale skin, I’ll never blend in here, but I can learn the language and ease into the culture.

I order a crisp, cool cerveza and gaze across the river, taking in the Torre del Oro and La Giralda, Seville’s most well-known landmark.

That’s another thing about Triana; it really does have the best view.

Travel Tips for Triana, Seville

Travel tip number one: don’t underestimate the heat! When it comes to all the things to do in Seville, please pace yourself with a view on the temperature. This city is HOT from July to September and most visitors aren’t ready for it. 

Where to Stay in Seville

Triana is a nice place to stay with plenty of tapas bars and local character. However, it is ever so slightly further from the city centre and other attractions than districts like Santa Cruz. See here for a guide on where to stay in Seville.

What to eat in Seville

Tapas bars and restaurants crowd around Triana market and along the shores of the Guadaluquivir. They’re great for fresh food and people watching and, as in many places in Andalusia, you won’t be hurried along. See also my guide to the best tapas bars in Seville and where to eat.

What to buy in Seville

Triana Market makes a good spot to stock up on authentic Seville souvenirs,   such as ines rosales, mantecados, jamon, olive oil and, of course, fresh fruit and veg. Make sure to check out our guide to the best food markets in Seville if you’re looking for fresh produce.

Triana’s workshops also sell those famous ceramics. Authentic mementos and some cheery tourist fare. 

FAQs about Triana

Is triana worth visiting.

Yes, you’ll find lots of lovely things to do in Triana from people watching to browsing authentic ceramic shops, taking in churches and the local market and looking back across the river to the main side of Seville.

What is Triana known for?

Triana is most famous for its ceramics and for the accent that spread across South America. Christopher Columbus recruited from this region of working class seamen and took the accent with him. The Triana bridge, the Puente Isabel, is famous for both its love locks and, in contrast, its pathway to the home of the former Inquisition.

Is Triana Seville safe?

Despite it’s reputation as being on the wrong side of the tracks, Triana is a very safe neighbourhood. Most of Seville is safe around the tourist areas, as you can see in our guide on where to stay in Seville.

How many days do you need in Seville?

You can enjoy Seville with only two days or spend between five days and a week to really explore her neighbourhoods and take day trips into Andalucia. See our Andalusia itinerary here and Seville itinerary here.

Soulful Triana: history, flamenco and festivals in Seville's quintessential neighbourhood

Apr 1, 2016 • 5 min read

Typical Triana back-street leading down to the river © Brendan Sainsbury / Lonely Planet

Seville’s identity is congenitally linked to Triana, a soulful neighbourhood on the west bank of the Guadalquivir River whose past is littered with stories of sailors, ceramicists, matadors, flamenco singers, Roma rebels and religious zealots.

Crammed onto a virtual island between two branches of the Guadalquivir River, Triana has long been Seville ’s ‘outsider’ enclave, its strong working-class affiliations shaped by a tumultuous history. Until the 1850s, the district was linked to the rest of the city by a single floating bridge and labelled extramuros (outside the walls) by Seville’s authorities, a place where ‘undesirables’ were sent to live. But modern-day visitors can experience the tenacious soul of Triana, one of Seville’s most fascinating neighbourhoods.

The infamy of the Spanish Inquisition

Triana’s infamy grew in 1481 when the seat of the Inquisition Court was set up by the Catholic Monarchs in the Castillo de San Jorge on the banks of the Guadalquivir. For over 300 years the castle acted as a court and prison for religious ‘deviants’ accused of heresy. Unscrupulous punishments were meted out inside.

When the Inquisition was finally extinguished in the early 1800s, the castle was demolished and a market built over its foundations. But the ghosts of the tormented refused to be buried. In 1990, when the original market was being refurbished, the castle’s foundations were rediscovered, but this time they were preserved rather than filled in. A modern museum, inaugurated in 2009, has incorporated the castle’s remains into a large, glass-encased space replete with multimedia exhibits that tell the macabre story of the Inquisition and its cruelties – lest we forget.

A past moulded in clay

Unlike central Seville with its ostentatious cathedral , Triana is not drop-dead spectacular. Instead, much of the neighbourhood’s beauty lies in its atmosphere, which – rather like a good flamenco performance – creeps up and seduces you slowly.

Enter the quarter by crossing the Isabel II Bridge and you’ll find yourself in Plaza Altozano, a misshapen ‘square’ which offers various hints of Triana’s complex personality. From here you can peruse a statue of local bullfighter Juan Belmonte alongside scattered images of the Virgin Mary etched onto brightly painted buildings, and shops trimmed with decorative azulejos (tiles).

Triana, thanks to the abundance of easy-to-mould clay found on the banks of the Guadalquivir, has been involved in artisan ceramic-making since Roman times. The trade flourished under the Moors, who first concocted the azulejo , and the tile industry enjoyed a second renaissance in the mid-20th century when Neo-Mudéjar architecture was in vogue. Starting in the 1960s, most of the factories were forced to close. In an attempt to preserve Triana’s artisanship for posterity, one of them has recently reopened as a museum. The Centro Cerámica Triana explains the detailed precision required to make the distinctive sevillano ceramics and highlights Triana’s starring role in the trade. Handily positioned just outside is the neighbourhood’s finest tile shop, the Ceramica Santa Ana , in business for 150 years.

Flamenco – a soulful art

For centuries, the bulk of Triana’s population was Roma, the descendants of groups of itinerants that had drifted into Spain from the east in the 15th or 16th centuries. Putting down roots in Seville, the Roma lived in communal corrales de vecinos , compounds of small, crowded tenements arranged around a multi-purpose courtyard that served jointly as a laundry, meeting area, workplace and performance space for the Roma’s ebullient juergas (parties). Several corrales have survived in Triana, most notably in Calle Castilla and Calle Pagés del Corro, although their 21st-century incarnations have been modernized and beautified with assorted greenery.

Although initially private affairs, the wailing laments and esoteric dancing that drifted out of the juergas soon woke up the rest of the city to a powerful and soulful art. When people claim that flamenco was invented in Seville, they’re really talking about Triana. The neighbourhood is name-checked in numerous flamenco songs, and its large interlinked Roma families produced many of the music’s greatest performers.

Most of Seville’s Roma were resettled in the city’s new suburbs in the 1960s, a move that altered the demographics of Triana, but not its essence. Unlike the more sanitized Santa Cruz quarter, the neighbourhood has retained much of its authenticity. Its outdoor living room in the summer is the bar-filled Calle Betis overlooking the river where the clink of beer glasses competes with the aroma of frying fish. Stroll down Betis after midnight (still early by Triana standards) and you might get lucky with a rough-around-the-edges flamenco show in one of its rambunctious bars. T de Triana is usually a good bet.

Triana’s proverbial kitchen is the fish-biased Mercado Triana, a traditional market that isn’t afraid to move with the times. Among the resident fishmongers, look out for Cervezas Taifa , one of Andalucia’s pioneering nano-breweries making and serving its own beer on the premises, and Taller Andaluz de Cocina , a new cooking school that also runs market tours. Just behind the market and heavy with bull-fighting and flamenco nostalgia is legendary bar/restaurant, Casa Cuesta , which has been pulling cervezas since 1880.

Processions and festivals

Religious zealotry might have been snuffed out with suppression of the Inquisition, but Triana’s devotion to its santos (saints) remains famously pious. The two most fervent cults honour the Virgen de la Esperanza, whose image resides in the Capilla de Marineros ( esperanza-de-triana.es ), and Cristo de la Expiración, bivouacked in an eponymous basilica in Calle Castilla. The latter statue is popularly known as ‘El Cachorro’ – its carved countenance depicting the dying Christ supposedly resembles that of a stabbed Roma man whom the sculptor, Francisco Ruiz Gijón, encountered on the streets of Triana in the 1680s. Both saints are carried solemnly on floats to Seville cathedral during Semana Santa .

For a more liberated spirit, visit Triana in July for the 400-year-old Velá Santa Ana ( visitasevilla.es ), the neighbourhood’s mini- feria (fair) that replicates in a smaller but no less riotous way Seville’s world-renowned Feria de Abril . During the mini- feria, numerous casetas (temporary bars) are set up in Calle Betis, silly water games make a big splash in the river, and unadulterated flamenco vibrates a makeshift stage in Plaza Altozano. It’s the ultimate manifestation of Triana and all its vivid idiosyncrasies.

15 reviews for Triana Tapas Tour

Ashley – May 19, 2022

My husband and I had the absolute best day enjoying tapas and drinks with Abby touring us around Triana. In addition to tapas, Abby was a wealth of information on Sevilla and Spanish culture. We learned a great deal from her, and she helped us feel much more confident ordering food and drinks throughout the rest of our trip. We were in Sevilla during La Feria, and Abby was SO sweet and even did my hair with a flower and all so we were ready to go to the feria that evening. It was certainly an experience we will remember forever! Thanks Abby for one of our most favorite days of our whole Spain trip! Ashley and Jordan from Kansas City

Bettina – September 5, 2021

This is the best introduction to Spanish food and wine. Our guide, Filippo, was very good and knew some amazing local bars. We went to a bar that exists since the 18th century and another one since 2019. We were lucky to pass by a wedding right happening next to our bar. The tapas were delicious and it changed our idea about the Spanish sherry. It was a beautiful evening!

lloyd99 – March 12, 2019

Well worth paying the extra for a private tour. Our guide Alba was excellent, her knowledge of Seville was amazing and went the extra mile to make a memorable evening.

FamOf4Loves2Travel – October 29, 2016

My husband and I booked three different activities through Not Just a Tourist for our 2.5 days in Seville: Triana Tapas Tour, White Villages Tour, Stand Up Paddling rentals. All three activities exceeded our expectations. First and foremost, the intelligence and passion of the people who work for Not Just a Tourist are superb. Our guide for our Tapas tour – Sara – was fantastic. Our guide and our driver for our White Villages tour – Javier and Enrique -were also fantastic. We didn’t spend much time with the guide who met us before and after we took out paddle boards, but he was also wonderful. My many email exchanges with Not Just a Tourist to decide on our activities were also handled so well. Here’s some pictures from our wonderful experiences. Deborah and Michael, Leesburg, VA.

Michele M – October 6, 2016

I did 2 tours with them and both were great. The “women” of Seville tour was a wonderful alternative perspective on how women (weak and strong) were involved in the history of Seville and Spain. Saw great sights, and learned things I would never have found out about. I also did the Triana Tapas tour with Mahsha and Davide. On this one we went to real bars and restaurants where locals go, as opposed to just touristy places. Such great energy in every stop. I loved talking to Mahsha and Davide about the city they love and all of their experiences. When I go back to Seville some day, I will definitely book this company for other “off the beaten path” experiences.

UmbertoA – October 2, 2016

We visited Spain recently, including Sevilla. We had a wonderful evening with Mahsa. We did a tapas tour which was enjoyable. We highly recommend Mahsa; she was great !!

Naqi K – July 16, 2016

I absolutely recommend this food tour. Our guide Miguel was fantastic. He is so friendly, genuinely loves what he does and it shows. He gave us great selections of food and drinks and made us all feel very comfortable and taken care of. I’m so glad we went on this tour because I got to try tapas that I may have passed over and never knew what I was missing! If you sign up, request Miguel!

Alison M – June 22, 2016

We booked an evening tapas tour with Not Just a Tourist. It was really excellent. Numbers are limited to 8 which keeps the group small and we had the good fortune to have our lovely guide Sara to ourselves. I had hoped we would try some new food and learn about Sevilla and Spain and we definitely did that. We went to bars and restaurants we would not have tried ourselves and ate new dishes that we wouldn’t have known how to ask for! Sara was delightful company. She is a really interesting and friendly person and was great at answering all our questions. It was a very relaxed evening where we were able to chat about all sorts of things. Highly recommended.

margaret188049 – May 1, 2016

Wonderful start to our 5 day stop in Seville. We enjoyed tapas and local specialities at 4 locations in Triana. Highly recommended especially early in your stay as it is a good introduction to the area and what it offers

justine1221 – March 14, 2016

Both tours were fantastic! It was just my husband and I for both tours and David was our tour guide. The tapas tour was so much fun- we got to taste food that we probably wouldnt have ordered and they were ALL delicious. David gave us history during the walk and knew so much about this beautiful city. The White villages tour was breathtakingly beautiful. It was a long day, but well worth it. David was an awesome guide and made our experience in Seville! We would definitely use them again and try other tours!!!!!

FredFromMN – January 10, 2016

While in Sevilla in late December we used Not Just a Tourist for their Tapas Tour in Triana, and for an all-day excursion to the Pueblos Blancos (Arcos, Grazalema, and Ronda). Elena hosted us for the Tapas tour and she was wonderful. The only challenge was that we did this on the Sunday evening after Christmas, and many bars were closed. But she managed to find us some good places to visit, and we got to try some new foods and experience the tapas culture a bit. The next day we went with Esther to explore the “white villages.” We really enjoyed getting up into the mountains, and Esther was a wonderful guide for exploring these wonderful towns. Thank you Elena and Esther for helping us to understand Andalucia a bit better!

travelbyRosie – January 9, 2016

We have done a few food tours in our travels and the Triana Tapas Tour we did with (I think..) Esther was brilliant.

It was just the two of us with Esther so we felt we were just having a night out with a local. All the food & accompanying drinks were delicious. We visited four or five different places – all unique experiences within easy walking distance in the gorgeous Triana neighborhood.

Highly highly recommended!! Thank you Not Just a Tourist

chandree – January 2, 2016

Really enjoyed every moment. The guides are friendly and efficient. We did a day trip to cadiz and another day trip to Granada as well as a tapas tour. It was simply nice trying out different tapas that were so tasty and we could not find on any other menu if were by ourselves. The information about the wine was very good too and our guide even helped us to buy a few bottles while we were in the market. I would really recommend them.

maynris – November 22, 2015

Our travel agent booked us a half day walking tour with tapas tasting with this company.

Seville with only 700,000 inhabitants is a very walkable city and David our guide led us on a wonderfully leisurely 2-3hr walk around the main sights. In the most popular areas it’s easy to suddenly find yourself surrounded by tourists but David would cleverly and swiftly steer us down a small Calle and we were on our own again, yet not missing out on anything but seeing even more than the crowds.

David is very knowledgeable; informative with just enough facts but without it sounding like a history lesson. It is more like a friend showing you around their much loved city. After three hours we walked over the river into Triana, the area David had chosen for our tapas tasting. He took us to three places, each time ordering several tapas wtih a different local drink to accompany. It was a brilliant introduction to the wonderful city of Seville and the Sevillan way of tapas ordering and eating.

We would definitely recommend this company to anyone visiting Seville and will definitely contact them again on our next visit. They offer various other guiding options including olive oil tasting which sounds fascinating.

mariekeh – November 21, 2015

David showed us the places to get the best tapas in Sevilla/Triana. We finally had good tapas and learned a lot as well. Is was a fantastic afternoon!

The Sunny Spanish City That's Known for Flamenco Dancing Has Tasty Tapas, Striking Landmarks, and Elegant Boutique Hotels

Here's what you need to know before visiting Seville.

Best Things to Do

Best restaurants, best time to visit, how to get there, neighborhoods to visit, how to get around.

Rory Fuller/Travel + Leisure

There are many reasons to visit Andalusia, but none are more compelling than its vibrant riverside capital. Originally founded by the Romans and later conquered by the Moors, Seville is rich in cultural traditions. “As one of the most significant Atlantic ports on the Iberian Peninsula dating back to ancient times, its monumental heritage creates an amazing combination of history, beauty, and food for travelers to enjoy,” says Alvaro Carmona , a ToursByLocals guide based in Seville.

Elegant and endlessly attractive, the city displays almost constant reminders of its time under Moorish rule with striking landmarks such as the Royal Alcázar of Seville (one of the most beautiful places to visit in Spain ) and La Giralda as standouts. Seville is the birthplace of flamenco with many famous venues for visitors to take a lesson or catch a show. It’s also the storied backdrop for over 100 operas — among them "Carmen," "The Barber of Seville," and "Don Juan de Mañara" — and has some world-class museums. The tapestry of influences, abundance of regional products, and immense local talent translate to a culinary scene that rivals the many epicurean power players throughout the country. Plus, the Mediterranean climate means sunshine, blue skies, and warm weather throughout the year — so it’s always a good time for sightseeing and enjoying a glass of wine or sherry at an alfresco café.

Whether you're looking to tour UNESCO sites or sample tasty tapas (probably both, right?), use this guide full of recommendations from local insiders to plan the perfect trip to Seville.

Top 5 Can’t Miss

• See a flamenco show. 
• Marvel at the Royal Alcázar of Seville.
• Climb La Giralda for panoramic views.
• Do a tapas tour. 
• Stay at Hotel Alfonso XIII, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seville.

Best Hotels & Resorts

Hotel Alfonso XIII, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seville

What did the king of Spain do when he needed to host international dignitaries during the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition? He commissioned a grand hotel befitting his high-status guests, of course. Nearly a century later, Hotel Alfonso XIII, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seville remains a symbol of grandeur and glamour that easily goes toe-to-toe with the most spectacular stays in Barcelona and Madrid.

Nobu Seville

The new Nobu Seville brings its signature sense of Japanese minimalism to Plaza San Francisco. While loyalists will find all the Nobu classics — black cod, rock shrimp tempura, and toro tartare with caviar — the 25-key property also exudes a soulful sense of place thanks to traditional Andalusian touches and a rooftop terrace with a guest-only plunge pool, leafy gardens, and sweeping city views.

Hotel Mercer Seville

Ever dreamt of snoozing in a palace? Situated inside the former Casa Palacio Castelar in the heart of the El Arenal quarter, Hotel Mercer Seville is full of history. The refined boutique atmosphere and relaxing suites complete with oak floors, crisp linens, and high ceilings make it an ideal place to unwind after visits to nearby Nueva Square and Real Maestranza Bullring.

Hotel Palacio de Villapanes

Originally built by Admiral López-Pintado in 1729 and later the residence of the Marquis of Villapanés and his descendants, Hotel Palacio de Villapanes still reflects its roots as a Baroque mansion. The tiled central courtyard with a fountain, leafy plants, and arched columns commands focus. Not to be outdone, noble suites show off immense carved wooden doors, high ceilings, and Philippe Starck-designed tubs.

Radisson Collection Hotel, Magdalena Plaza Sevilla

For something a bit more modern, check into the Radisson Collection Hotel, Magdalena Plaza Sevilla . The brand’s first outpost in Spain blends clean lines and local character. Blue velvet accent chairs evoke the Andalusian sky, while plants nod to the many leafy squares and gardens around the city. “It’s also well positioned in the shopping area and very close to many top tourist attractions,” adds Carmona.

Tour the Royal Alcázar of Seville.

The first thing on the to-do list for many travelers coming to Seville? A visit to the UNESCO-listed Royal Alcázar of Seville, a stunning architectural masterpiece and historic royal palace crowned by ornamental tile work, carvings, and artwork that grew out of a 10th-century citadel.

Rory Fuller/Travel + Leisure

Visit the Seville Cathedral.

The impressive Seville Cathedral is the largest Gothic Christian church in the world. Size aside, it’s breathtakingly beautiful and also boasts the iconic La Giralda, which was originally constructed as a minaret for the Great Mosque of Seville and later converted into a bell tower.

See a flamenco show.

“No trip to Seville is complete without experiencing the passion and intensity of a traditional Flamenco show,” says Antonio Morilla, head concierge at Hotel Alfonso XIII, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seville . La Casa del Flamenco and Tablao Flamenco El Arenal are some of the most famous theaters to watch the Andalusian dance.

Learn about Spanish history at the Archivo General de Indias.

Occupying a stately 16th-century merchant guild building, Archivo de Indias is an archive dedicated to the history of the “New World.” It holds more than 80 million pages of documents, photographs, drawings, and diaries from the likes of Columbus, Cortés, and Pizarro.

Stroll through the Plaza de España.

Designed by Sevillian architect Aníbal González for the Ibero-America Exhibition of 1929, Plaza de España is one of Seville's crown jewels. The famous plaza comprises magnificent buildings that marry elements from art deco, Spanish Renaissance Revival, Spanish Baroque Revival, and Neo-Mudéjar architectural styles, plus a large fountain, canals, and tile-accented bridges.

Michelin-starred Cañabota draws admiration from diners and critics alike. “It’s well-regarded for its modern versions of classic Sevillian seafood dishes and fantastic wine list,” says Morilla. Pro tip: Grab a seat at the counter to watch the masterful cooking up close.

Abantal is an elegant Michelin-starred restaurant that’s famous for its refined, flavorful cuisine. Head chef Julio Fernández combines Andalusian cooking traditions, innovative techniques, and high-quality local ingredients into incredible gastronomic tasting menus. It’s worth splurging on the wine pairing.

Sobretablas

Helmed by chef Camila Ferraro and sommelier Robert Tetas, Sobretablas celebrates the bounty of Andalusia in exciting and elevated ways. The cuisine puts a contemporary twist on classic regional recipes and pairs perfectly with the selection of natural and organic wines.

Bodeguita Romero

Out-of-towners and locals rub elbows over jamón ibérico, bull tail stew, and smoked sardine toast, plus Spanish wine and sherry, at Bodeguita Romero , a buzzy tapas bar in El Arenal that often has a line around the block. Carmona calls it “an essential stop in Seville.”

La Cochera del Abuelo

Tucked inside an 18th-century carriage house, La Cochera del Abuelo feels warm and intimate. The food very much matches the homey atmosphere. The curated menu changes regularly, so there’s always something new yet deliciously familiar to tickle your tastebuds.

With more than 3,000 sunny hours annually, Seville is really beautiful every day of the year. Carmona favors the beginning of spring when more than 40,000 bitter orange trees flower at the same time. “It’s simply magical!”

Seville Airport (SVQ) sits just six miles from the city center. It mainly receives domestic flights, so most travelers connect through Madrid. “If you're coming from another Spanish city, particularly the capital, taking the train is a great option. The high-speed trains (AVE) are very comfortable, reliable, and fast, allowing you to reach Seville from Madrid in approximately 2.5 hours,” explains Morilla.

The old Jewish quarter is known for its narrow, winding streets lined with whitewashed houses, picturesque plazas, and the city’s most famous landmarks, including the Royal Alcázar of Seville, the Seville Cathedral, La Giralda, and the Flamenco Museum.

“Located on the west bank of the Guadalquivir River, El Arenal offers a vibrant atmosphere, historic buildings, and cultural attractions such as the Maestranza Bullring and the Torre del Oro. According to Morilla, it’s also a great neighborhood for tapas and nightlife.

Flamenco was born in Triana, and the residential neighborhood is still a great place to see a show. “The incredible views over the city center, the ceramic workshops, and the many bars also make it a wonderful area to spend time on a trip to Seville,” says Carmona.

Seville was plotted out long before the invention of cars, when people used to walk and ride horses. “In my opinion, strolling around is the best way to slowly savor the beauty of the many squares, churches, gardens, museums, landmarks, and bars,” says Carmona.

The 14 best things to do in Seville

S eville is all about astonishing architecture, from Gothic and Mudejar (Muslim style, built for Christian rulers), to Renaissance and Baroque, sometimes all in the same building. After you’ve visited the world-famous attractions, like the Cathedral and Alcazar, try a flamenco or tile-making class, or take an electric scooter-bike tour. In summer, when the temperature soars, be sure to book a boat tour or an evening, rooftop concert. 

Read on to find out more, while for further Seville inspiration, here are guides devoted to the city's best hotels , restaurants , bars , things to see and do for free , plus how to spend a weekend in Seville . If planning a longer trip, discover  our ultimate itinerary in Andalucia here .

Climb the minaret of the world’s largest Gothic cathedral

If it’s your first visit, Seville Cathedral is a must-see, if only to marvel at Columbus’ tomb, held aloft by knights from the four kingdoms of old Spain. Climb up the Giralda belltower, formerly the minaret of the mosque that stood here – the views over the Jewish Quarter and the next-door Alcazar are spectacular.

Insider's tip: Buy your ticket at nearby El Salvador church, and then slip to the front of the queue. Also, the children’s audio guide is shorter, and more palatable for many than the adult version (20-odd points as opposed to 40), featuring the best bits.

Climb to the top of a modern architectural icon

Metropol Parasol is Seville's modern architectural icon, and the world's largest wooden structure. Consisting of six mushroom-shaped shades – it's known locally as Las Setas, the Mushrooms – the 28-metre tall structure houses an archaeological museum in the basement, with stunning Roman mosaics; a food market and bars on the ground floor; and above this is an open area for concerts.

Insider's tip: Take the lift up to the panoramic walkway with spectacular 360-degree views, from the Expo 92 site at La Cartuja to the cathedral. An app will help you to identify key buildings, and also offers games for kids. Be aware that your ticket gives you two visits within 48 hours, so you can see the sunset and nighttime light show, as well as a day visit, plus a short film about Seville on a 21-m-wide curved screen.

Time-travel to Moorish Seville

Take a virtual trip back in time to Roman, Moorish, and 17th-century Seville. Past View Experience's ingenious and fun system (children love it) consists of smart glasses using Augmented Reality plus a touchpad. The main Seville route takes in the Setas, Plaza San Francisco, the cathedral, and the Torre del Oro, where historic characters tell you about their lives, in virtual recreations of your surroundings at each stop.

Insider's tip:  Brush up beforehand on Cervantes, and what happened to him while he was living in Seville, to get more out of this experience.

Take a cooking class in a market

These days, markets are so much more than a local place to buy your fresh fruit and veg. The riverside Triana Market is built on top of Castillo San Jorge, the seat of the Spanish Inquisition and as well as eyeballing the extraordinary sea snails and tasting jamón ibérico, have tapas sushi or oysters, nibble on pretty pastries, and even take a cooking class – with Taller Andaluz de Cocina you’ll meet the stallholders, then make four classic tapas – think salmorejo and spinach with chickpeas – washed down with sangria.

Insider's tip:  At weekends there's a craft fair down by the river, just outside the market, with stalls selling handmade jewellery, bags and accessories.

Experience Jewish life in Seville

Seville had a substantial Jewish population until the end of the 15th century, when the Inquisition took hold. Learn about Sephardic (Iberian-Jewish) history on a tour  of the Juderia (old Jewish Quarter) with Jewish history lecturer Moises Hassan-Amselem. He will show you former synagogues, and bring to life the experience of his community in Seville, past and present.

Insider's tip:  If you don’t do this tour, it’s worth going into the underground car park at Jardines de Murillo – most incongruously, there’s a Jewish tomb behind a glass wall – this entire area used to be an  extramuros  cemetery (outside the city walls).

Sail up the river in a silent electric boat

Get a different perspective on the city by heading down to the river, especially in the height of Seville's intense summer when it’s slightly cooler on the water. Glide up the Guadalquivir in one of Guadaluxe’s three electric boats, carrying up to 50 passengers each – the route is from Puente de las Delicias, past the Torre del Oro, bullring and Expo 1992 site, up to the Puente de la Barqueta. 

Insider's tip:  The boat can pick up and drop off from any of five muelles (docks) along the river, from the Expo 92 site all the way down to the Aquarium. A new two-storey boat arrives in March 2024 – ideal for private parties.

Go to a rooftop concert

A number of venues hold outdoor concerts on roof terraces on hot summer evenings, when the best spot to catch any breeze is as high up as possible. One of the best, operating year-round, is Pura Vida Terraza at the  Hotel Fontecruz Sevilla Seises  near the cathedral - catch the flamenco every Sunday, with a Giralda backdrop, at this beach bar-vibe roof terrace.

Insider's tip:  You can also use the hotel’s gorgeous rooftop pool, next to the bar, for a fee – morning, afternoon or all-day session, with sunbed, towel and mojito included – just be sure to reserve in advance.

Paint your own ceramic tile in Triana

The boho barrio of Triana is also known for its azulejos (ceramic tiles), which adorn the interiors of Seville’s churches, houses, hotels, bars and restaurants. You can make your own to take home at pottery studio Barro Azul. After an introduction to the history and techniques, paint two tiles using arista (mould imprint) or freehand. You can also paint a fan.

Insider's tip: A few steps away is the little-known Centro Ceramica de Triana , where you can learn how tiles were made in the early 20th century, and see the kilns used to fire ceramics centuries ago.

Delve into a duchess’ life

The pretty Las Dueñas was the preferred abode – out of about 30 – of the late Duchess of Alba, Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart (she was descended from King James I of England). The world’s most-titled aristocrat was a huge fan of all things Sevillano – Semana Santa, Feria, bullfighting, and Betis football club. You can see inside her house, complete with personal mementoes, framed family photos and poems, which sit alongside magnificent tapestries and artworks (she was a keen collector), private chapel, magnificent Mudejar patio, and lemon tree-filled garden, which famously inspired poet Antonio Machado to compose a piece about his childhood spent there.

Insider's tip:  If you’re lucky, your visit might coincide with  an evening outdoor concert of Carmen’s most famous arias. There’s a family connection: Mérimée’s Seville-set novel, on which the opera was based, was inspired by a story told by the 14th Duchess of Alba’s sister-in-law, Eugenia Empress of France, to the writer.

Learn flamenco with Eva

Flamenco is one of the trickiest dances to master – get a tantalising taster with the charismatic Eva’s introduction to flamenco class. At a professional studio near the Museo de Bellas Artes, she’ll take you through all the rhythms, from tango to seguiriya, with clapping, dance steps and arm movements, so by the end you’ll dance a short routine yourself. She even provides a flamenco shawl and flower (men get a neckerchief), so you look and feel the part; you can also hire skirt and shoes, or a waistcoat.

Insider's tip: Eva can recommend her favourite local bars with an authentic atmosphere where you’re likely to see spontaneous singing and dancing.

Kick the tiles at Santa Ana church

The oldest parish church in Seville, known as “the cathedral of Triana”, recently celebrated its 750th anniversary. The Gothic-Mudejar edifice was built in 1276 by King Alfonso X, whose father Fernando reconquered the city from the Moors after 500 years. Legend goes that if an unmarried girl kicks a 16 th -century tiled tomb (hand-painted by master Niculoso Pisano, now protected by a glass case), she’ll find a husband, while babies baptised in its font will be bestowed with gypsy flamenco talent.

Insider's tip: This church is very popular for weddings – sit at the café next door and watch the finely-costumed guests parade past.

Go green in Maria Luisa Park

Electric scooters are a great way to get around Seville, with its 180-odd km of bike lanes. For those of us who are less enamoured of the nippy nuisances, Surf the City’s electric scooter-bike hybrids are a great option, with their low platform and bike wheels, providing more stability than the ubiquitous models. From its centrally-located base at Puerta Jerez, the company’s charmingly laid-back yet knowledgeable guides will take you to the main must-sees: Cathedral, Barrio Santa Cruz, Parque Maria Luisa, Torre de Oro, and Triana. They also have electric and normal bikes.

Insider's tip:  Younger children aged up to eight can ride on a scooter with an adult – eight or nine-year-olds should try out the scooters first to see if they want to ride their own.

See a 14th-generation family palace

An impressive new addition to the city’s architectural-historic scene, this private 17th-century baroque palace has been in the same family for 14 generations, from the merchant Bucarellis who arrived from Florence, to the three generations who still live there today. Their high-ranking forebears include governors, viceroys, abbesses, and horse and bull-breeders. You can see the stables, garden, an equestrian-themed bar, family drawing room and dining room with beautiful furniture, Mexican ceramics, and Flemish tapestries, all lived-in and dotted with family mementoes. The best is saved for last: the countess’ bedroom – she inspired a famous love poem by Sevillano poet Gustavo Adolfo Becquer.

Experience art in an architectural gem

This unusual cultural space opened in 2023, in a privately-owned, painstakingly restored 1920s house designed by famous architect Jose Espiau. The art works and installations on show tend towards the avant-garde and abstract; entrance fee includes tour explaining history of building and how it was restored, as well as a glass of wine or sherry.
