About this tour
This session moves through Mercado de Triana and the neighbourhood's ceramics workshops, showing the market built over an old castle site and the hand-painted tile tradition still active nearby. You see archaeological remains through a glass floor panel inside the market. The route stays inside the neighbourhood, at an hour when both the stalls and the workshops are open.
We start at the market entrance with a quick check of the light, then move stall to stall before reaching a workshop window nearby, pausing to explain the tile-making process in some detail. Questions come in throughout, and I send a short note on the ceramics tradition afterward.
This suits anyone interested in craft and food together, and travellers who want Triana's working side rather than only its riverbank views. It runs at a market hour when things are busiest.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city

The camera moves through the covered market built over the site of a former castle, and I point out the glass floor panel where archaeological remains are still visible below.

You see hand-painted tiles laid out to dry in a workshop window, part of a tradition of Triana ceramics going back centuries, and I explain how the patterns are built up in layers of colour.

Time to ask anything about Seville: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
