Cruise on the Guadalquivir

Enjoy your visit to Seville in a different way. You will see the city on a 1 hour boat trip on the Guadalquivir River, where you can see the Torre del Oro, the Bullring, the old bridges, the Triana neighbourhood, the Expo '92 pavilions, the towers of the Plaza de España, etc. You will also be able to appreciate the diversity of buildings along the river bank and how the city has evolved, from 15th century buildings to the most modern ones, such as the Seville Tower, completed in 2015. The Guadalquivir River crosses the whole of Andalusia with its more than 700km length and connects the capital, Seville, with the Atlantic Ocean. In fact its current name derives from the Arabic "al-wadi al-kibir", which translates into our language as "big river". This is where the merchant ships docked in the port of Seville, loaded with gold, silver, tobacco and other valuable and much sought-after goods. In fact, it was at the Monastery of Santa Maria de las Cuevas, situated on a small island in the Guadalquivir known as the Isla de la Cartuja, that Christopher Columbus planned his voyage across the ocean in search of India.
