Calle de Triana
Takes its name from the Seville district of Triana, part of a group of Andalusian streets recalling the neighborhood’s former Sevilla Films studios.
The name comes from Triana, the Seville district on the bank of the Guadalquivir, land of sailors, potters, bullfighters, and flamenco singers. It belongs to a group of streets with an Andalusian ring in this corner of Nueva España, alongside Macarena, San Telmo, and Jerez.
The reason lies a few steps away. Beside Avenida de Pío XII stood the Sevilla Films studios, their facade imitating an Andalusian farmhouse in the middle of the capital. When the company folded, the streets kept that southern air, and Triana remained as a trace of the vanished lot.
