Our practical tips for exploring Triana and Los Remedios

Moving from the historic center to the Triana and Los Remedios neighborhoods requires a slight adjustment to your approach. Here, the focus is on popular culture, the river, and a unique pace of life.

Change your rhythm according to the sun

The Guadalquivir River influences the temperature and pace of life in the riverside neighborhoods. To avoid the heat, the golden rule is to avoid walking in direct sunlight on the quays and open streets of Triana between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., especially from June to September. This is the perfect time to take refuge in enclosed spaces or enjoy a break on the wide, shaded avenues of Los Remedios.

As for activities, the Triana Market is the place to be. Come before 11:00 am for breakfast (tostada and coffee) and to enjoy the authentic atmosphere of the fresh produce stalls. In the afternoon, the bustling activity slows down.

Finally, the best time for walks on Calle Betis or the Los Remedios docks, as well as for photos, is in the late afternoon (after 6:00 pm), when the light is soft and the reflection of the water diminishes.

Moving between neighborhoods

The structure of the two districts necessitates different ways of getting around.

• Since the historic heart of Triana is not accessible by car, be sure to wear good walking shoes to explore the narrow streets between Calle Pureza and Calle San Jacinto. The Triana Bridge and the Church of Santa Ana serve as constant visual landmarks to help you find your way.
• In contrast, Los Remedios is one of the few neighborhoods in Seville served by the metro (Plaza de Cuba or Parque de los Príncipes stations). If you're coming from further afield, the metro is a quick and refreshing way to reach this side of the river. The main avenues in this neighborhood are laid out in a grid pattern, making it easy to find your way around.

Have fun and bring back memories

To guarantee a successful cultural and gastronomic experience, some planning is necessary.

• If you wish to attend a flamenco show, especially on a weekend evening, online booking is essential for Triana tablaos such as Teatro Flamenco Triana or Pura Esencia, as capacity is often limited.
• For tapas, follow the tapeo tradition: for total immersion, prioritize authenticity by eating standing up at the counter (barra) of traditional bars (like Las Golondrinas, Casa Cuesta, or Bodega La Alacena); it is often cheaper and faster than occupying a table.
• Finally, if you wish to buy quality azulejos or pottery, go directly to the workshops or shops on Calles Alfarería and San Jorge to ensure that the item is indeed "hecho a mano" (handmade).
