Keeping with our pattern of visiting Sevilla locations that we could walk to, on this morning we headed across the canal (“Canal de Alfonso XIII”) on a convenient bridge, leaving behind the old town near the cathedral and entering a not-quite-so-old town across the water. There was much to see here, too, including guests arriving for a fancy wedding at a church, lots of locals out for a morning walk, shops and stores geared bit less to the tourist trade, and the Mercado De Triana.

There are, of course, LOTS of markets in European cities. Their size and focus varies. Some are gigantic and attract large crowds of visitors, perhaps less for the available produce and more for the prepared food options and souvenirs. This little market is closer to the traditional market end of the spectrum. For the most part the stalls are unassuming and seem to feature actual produce, meats, seafood, and so on. (There is one spot that offers cooking lessons that seems more tourist-oriented.) We stopped in for coffee and breakfast, then strolled the market, watching the morning activities.
