Immersing oneself in the vibrant culture of Seville clearly implies being in contact with water at some point. The Guadalquivir bathes the city and separates it into two attractive banks (the most monumental and the one that concerns Triana, Los Remedios and La Cartuja) that you can see by kayaking along the river.
But not only the city grants this refreshing activity; in the province and beyond its limits (less than an hour away, of course) rivers and their tributaries allow you to navigate its waters throughout the year.
An appealing plan both for those who want to get into water sports as well as for more experienced users who want a change of scenery.
1. Kayaking in Seville: a stroll along the Guadalquivir River
Seville changes perspective if the reader does it aboard a kayak. A water crossing that allows you to cross the Guadalquivir and admire the historical and cultural richness of the city while you enjoy this dynamic activity.
On the east bank, you will be able to contemplate imposing monuments such as the majestic Giralda, the Torre del Oro and intuit the Plaza de España in the distance. As you move towards the west bank, you will come across the lively neighborhood of Triana, famous for its taverns and traditional flamenco. You will also be able to admire the unique Triana Bridge, a witness of Sevillian history.
There are many companies that offer this service in the capital from different locations. You can start from the Pasarela de la Cartuja, the American garden, on the way to the Discoveries; around the Triana Bridge; at the High Performance Canoeing Center of La Cartuja, which has another access; or from the Alamillo Park, next to the pier bridge.
