Let's cross the Guadalquivir River, between the Triana and Los Remedios neighborhoods, for a deeper immersion into Sevillian culture. The birthplace of flamenco, pottery, and maritime tradition, Triana is renowned for its down-to-earth character and colorful alleyways. Adjacent to it, Los Remedios is a more modern neighborhood, known for its central role during the famous Feria de Abril and its elegant residential atmosphere. Together, these districts form a mosaic of experiences, blending vibrant tradition with contemporary life, offering an authentic glimpse into the Andalusian soul.
To make sure you don't miss anything in these two Seville neighborhoods, the Seville City Guide laced up their sneakers. Let's go!
📍Stage 1: The Triana Bridge
Cross the Triana Bridge and stop at the Plaza del Altozano (heart of the district) and its monument to Juan Belmonte. For a moment, you are transported to the heart of authentic Seville.
The Triana Bridge (or Isabel II Bridge) is the oldest preserved iron bridge in Spain. Previously, a series of boats connected the two banks before its construction.
📍Step 2: Triana Market
Can you smell that delicious aroma in the air? The Triana market is just a stone's throw away. Before filling your stomach, don't miss the ruins of Castillo San Jorge (Inquisition Interpretation Centre).
The market is ideal for enjoying tapas while standing! Look for stalls selling fresh seafood or Iberian ham.
📍Step 3: At the heart of ceramics
Walk up Calle San Jorge to reach the Centro Cerámica Triana. Explore the adjacent streets such as Calle Antillano Campos and Calle Alfarería to see the potters' workshops and the colorful azulejo facades.
And what if you brought back an azulejo (ceramic tile) as an authentic souvenir? It's small and easy to slip into your luggage.
📍Stage 4: Santa Ana Church
Continue to the Santa Ana church (Calle Pureza). Continue along Calle Pureza and discover the small chapels and the typical atmosphere of Triana, famous for its corrales.
📍Stage 5: Calle Betis
Head to Calle Betis for a stroll along the river. Finish with a drink on one of the terraces overlooking the Giralda and the Torre del Oro.
Our favorite part of this itinerary : Buying tapas and fried fish at the Triana market to eat on a bench overlooking the river and the historic center of Seville.
📍Step 1: The Plaza de Cuba
Start at Plaza de Cuba (on the southern edge of the Triana district). This is the junction point between the two districts, marked by the presence of key infrastructure for the city.
Triana and Los Remedios are separated by a ditch or a break in the river. The Avenida de la República Argentina, which runs through the district, is a modern thoroughfare that contrasts with the winding streets of Triana.
📍Step 2: The Avenida de la República Argentina
Enter Los Remedios via Avenida de la República Argentina. As you walk along it, you'll immediately notice the difference in architectural scale and the tranquility that pervades the area. Observe the more modern and orderly urban planning of the neighborhood, developed in the 20th century.
📍Stage 3: Los Principes Park
Head towards the green heart of Los Remedios. Stroll through the expansive Parque de los Príncipes, a favorite spot for Sevillians with its lake and gardens. Let the paths guide you and discover its diverse atmospheres.
📍Stage 4: In the heart of the Feria de Abril
Leave the park to the south and head towards the edge of the district. Go to the southwest, to the permanent site of the Feria de Abril, to see the extent of the esplanade and imagine the activity (outside of the Feria period).
For one week each year, this place transforms into a veritable temporary "city," the Real de la Feria, with hundreds of tents (casetas) where people dance Sevillanas and drink rebujito. Even empty, the site is impressive in its size and organization.
📍Stage 5: The Guadalquivir at sunset
To conclude this route, head back north along the other side of the district. Walk along the Guadalquivir River on the Los Remedios side for a different perspective of the river and the Triana neighborhood.
This walk offers the best views for photographing the Triana side, the Torre del Oro and the bridges that cross the river.
Our favorite part of this itinerary : Taking time away from the hustle and bustle of the city to relax or party during the Feria.
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.
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.
The structure of the two districts necessitates different ways of getting around.
To guarantee a successful cultural and gastronomic experience, some planning is necessary.
