Velá
de Santa Ana
Location: Triana
- Calle Betis
Dates: July 21 - 26
This is perhaps one of the
most famous velá, or neighborhood fair, taking up all of Calle
Betis with casetas, eating, drinking and music. Perhaps one of the best spectator
events of this celebration is the game of cucaña, where people try to
make it to the end of a long pole over the water to reach a small flag. Needless
to say many folks end up in the river.
La Velá de
Santa Ana
Location: Calle Betis (Triana)
Dates: 21 - 26 July
A velá is a neighborhood fiesta, generally organized by a nearby
church to raise funds. There are several in the months of June and July, but
none more famous or bigger than the Vela de Santa Ana in Triana. Just
along the river tents, or casetas, are set up for plenty to eat and
drink at night. This is a celebration of Triana: painting and ceramics exhibits
are on display, indoor football (soccer), fishing and petanca contests
are held. At night movie screenings are held in the Plazuela de Santa Ana. For
the children there are day time activities which include a scavenger hunt and
other competitions. Sound like enough to do? There's still the main attraction!
La cucaña, is a competition where the young folks try their
luck balancing on a narrow (and greased!) plank over the river as they reach
for a little flag suspended by a rope. Those who don't make it fall into the
water, and those who do make it to the flag...well, they fall into the water
as well.
