Triana, Bilingual, 1 Hour 30 Minutes

Overview

The Triana Bridge is where this walk begins, and crossing it is the first thing the group does. Free Tour through the Triana Neighborhood of Seville: Tradition and Essence is run by Hello Sevilla Tours and listed on freetour.com. It runs in English and Spanish and lasts 1 hour 30 minutes, starting from Puente de Triana.

Once across the Guadalquivir River, the route works through the streets the operator names: Calle Pureza, Plaza del Altozano, the Mercado de Triana and Calle Betis, with the Capilla de los Marineros and the Real Parroquia de Señora Santa Ana along the way. The operator describes Triana as a seafaring district of flamenco tradition and gypsy roots, the birthplace of artists and pottery, and a neighborhood that represents the essence of the city and the Sevillians.

The tour is free to reserve and pay what you want: guests pay the guide what they feel the walk was worth at the end. Pickup is not included, so travellers make their own way to Puente de Triana.
