Location: Triana Market
Taller Andaluz de Cocina is one of the few cooking schools in the world located within a traditional food market, where you can find the best fresh and seasonal products.
The neighborhood of Triana is one of the most vibrant and spectacular of the whole city, where it is easy to find the essence of everything inherent in Seville and that characterizes its inhabitants. It is a neighborhood of baroque spirit in which sailors, potters, bullfighters and flamenco artists have lived for generations.
Triana Food Market is located in Plaza del Altozano and next to Triana bridge (Puente de Isabel II), in which undergrounds remain the St. George´s Castle, the seat of the old inquisitorial tribunal. This castle was the seat of the Spanish Inquisition from 1481, although initial construction was Arab, dating 1171. Affected by the continued abandonment and subsequent flooding of the Guadalquivir, in 1823 the Market was settled. Before the Universal Exposition of Seville (Expo ’92), the market was refurbished, coming to light the remains of a castle and a Almohad cemetery.
Today, the market looks to regain the splendor of another era with the opening of new lines of business that complement the traditional stalls of fish, meat, fruits and vegetables, cheeses, olives and pickles, etc. So nowadays within the market you would be able to find everything from a theater to a craft beer factory, and numerous places where you can enjoy tapas, pinchos, live music, freshly cooked seafood, pies, etc.
