Triana: Parque de los Principes


In addition, another highlight of Triana was the “Parque de los Principes” which I visited on the Thursday of Corpus. The park was only about a 5 minute walk from the apartment I stayed in on calle Lopez de Gomara. When I first entered the park, I was struck by the beauty of the towering trees that lined the paths that criss-crossed throughout the park and showered the ground with purple petals creating a carpet of lavender. As I meandered towards the back portion of the park, I found a large pond teeming with turtles, catfish, and ducks, and I sat on a bench enjoying the sunshine. It was a very peaceful and cleansing experience considering the sereneness and tranquility of the park, and I wish I had discovered it earlier so I could have spent more time there while I was in Sevilla.
