Guadalquivir River Cruise: Discover Andalusia Through Spain’s Historic River The Guadalquivir River, one of the most important rivers in southern Spain, flows through the stunning region of Andalusia. Its name comes from the Arabic "wadi al-Kabir," meaning "great river," while the ancient Romans referred to it as Baetis. The Guadalquivir begins in the town of Quesada, in the heart of the Sierra de Cazorla (Jaén), and flows into the sea at Sanlúcar de Barrameda in the province of Cádiz, passing through the provinces of Córdoba and Seville. With a length of 657 km, the Guadalquivir is fed by tributaries such as the Genil, Guadalbullón, and Guadiana Menor. The Guadalquivir is the only river in Spain with commercial traffic, and today it is navigable up to Seville, though in Roman times, it was possible to sail as far as Córdoba. This river has played a crucial role in Spanish history, witnessing the meeting of two great civilisations: the Roman and the Arab. In Seville, you can enjoy an unforgettable experience aboard a panoramic boat cruise, taking in the city from a unique perspective and immersing yourself in Andalusia’s rich history and culture. Sailing along the Guadalquivir allows you to discover iconic monuments, stunning riverside landscapes, and appreciate the timeless charm of Seville, one of Spain’s most vibrant cities.
