About
Triana's beloved summer street fiesta honours the district's patroness, Santa Ana, with six days of riverside revelry on Calle Betis and Plaza del Altozano. Nightly concerts, stalls and the daring 'cucaña' — a greased pole jutting over the Guadalquivir — define this most quintessentially Sevillian of celebrations.
Highlights
- The 'cucaña' greased-pole contest over the Guadalquivir each afternoon
- Nightly free concerts on Plaza del Altozano
- Authentic Triana neighbourhood atmosphere on Calle Betis
Practical tips
- Go in the evening when Calle Betis comes alive along the river.
- Watch the cucaña around 6:30 pm from the Triana bridge or riverbank.
- It is free and open-air — no tickets needed, just expect crowds.
