- The corrales. Triana’s corrales de vecinos are old courtyards of shared housing.

Practical information
- Getting there: from the Torre del Oro side, cross the Puente de Isabel II. The Plaza del Altozano is at the Triana end.
- Monday: the ceramics centre is shut. The market, Calle Betis and the flamenco rooms are not.
- The Alcázar ticket is valid at the ceramics centre on the same day or the next, so a Triana morning suits the day after the palace; the Real Alcázar page has the rule.
