Triana is a neighborhood of Sevilla across the river from the main center of town (the side of the river that I live on). On tuesdays, I am finished with classes at noon, so my roommate, Erica, and I went on a walking tour of Triana. Many of Sevilla's famous bullfighters and flamenco artists came from Triana. Its also the center of the popular ceramics that Sevilla is known for. Throughout the neighborhood there were painted ceramic signs to honor famous people who may have lived there/worked on a certain street. It was a beautiful day for a walk and all the apartment balconies were overflowing with blooming flowers.

This house is covered in flowers!
La Iglesia Santa Ana is the oldest in Triana. It is said that children baptized here are bestowed with the gifts of flamenco singing, and dancing.
Beautiful view of La Giralda (the tower in the back) and the bull ring (the white building) from la plaza del Altozano.
