The Triana neighbourhood, located on the other side of the Guadalquivir, is the most characterful district in all of Seville. Its residents, the trianeros, have historically identified with a distinct identity from the rest of the city, proud of their neighbourhood as if it were an independent town. Triana is the historic birthplace of flamenco, with a tradition of singers and dancers dating back to the 18th century that has given the world figures such as Camarón de la Isla. It is also the origin of Sevillian artisan ceramics: the great tile workshops that decorated the Plaza de España and thousands of buildings across Spain were born on the banks of the Guadalquivir. The Triana Market, built over the ruins of the Castle of San Jorge, and Calle Betis, with its bars and night views over the river, are its two great draws.
