During my four week stay in Sevilla, I had the pleasure of living with a family in the barrio, or neighborhood, known as “Triana.” In the past, Triana was heavily populated with gitanos, or gypsies, and was thought of as inferior to the barrios on the other side of the river located near the center of Sevilla. Nowadays however, Triana is actually becoming a more popular place to live, and the cost of housing has also begun to rise with its popularity. With its abundance of shops, cervecerias, and heladerias, Triana is a wonderful location to socialize and window shop, and most definitely has a personality all its own, completely distinct from the other side of the river.
