The Triana Neighbourhood
Triana is located across the other side of the river Guadalquivir. It shares what is effectively an island with Los Remedios to the south and Cartuja to the north.
Traditionally, residents of Triana consider the neighbourhood to be an entity separate from the rest of Seville, as a result of its popular sense of identity. In reality, Triana forms an integral part of Seville, its culture, and its tradition. Pottery and Ceramics are the typical world-know goods from Triana.

Triana is sometimes credited with the invention of flamenco music; it has certainly been home to a number of flamenco dynasties, usually of Gypsy origin. A more solid claim would be one linking Triana to the development of Sevillanas, which is a dance and music genre native to Seville and popular throughout western Andalusia.
Don't forget to admire Seville from the other side of the river, from the Calle Betis. You will have a very nice view at the Triana's bridge, the Plaza de Toros, Paseo Colón, the Golden Tower and the Cathedral.
