Description
The legendary Guadalquivir River, the ancient "great river" of the Arabs, crosses Andalusia like a great artery of history and trade that connects Seville directly with the Atlantic Ocean. Its banks, steeped in a valuable mercantile past that turned the city into a strategic port for the New World, create an enormously beautiful river setting where the traditional architecture of the capital is reflected in the gentle waters of the riverbed.
Our river journey begins at the historic Paseo de Cristóbal Colón, taking as its starting point the very base of the mythical Torre del Oro. From this medieval defensive site, we will board a modern and spacious vessel equipped to offer a comfortable and safe trip, gliding gently along the current to begin an exceptional panoramic tour.
Throughout the navigation, the boat's deck becomes a privileged viewpoint from which to admire landmarks such as the Maestranza Bullring, the city's historic bridges and the colorful facades of the popular Barrio de Triana. The route also reveals the silhouettes of the pavilions of the international exhibitions and the distant monumental towers that dot the urban landscape.
As the boat heads towards Isla de la Cartuja, passengers will enjoy a complete onboard audioguide to learn the secrets of the Port of Seville, where ships loaded with gold and silver docked, or the history of the Monastery of Santa María de las Cuevas, the place where Christopher Columbus planned his expeditions. At the end of the one-hour journey, we will return to the original pier in an ideal location to continue walking through the city center.
A magical and different view from the water to admire the outlines of an unforgettable city.
