What to do in Seville

Seville, the capital of Andalusia, has the Guadalquivir River as its natural axis for outdoor activities. Canoeing and kayaking are the most established options: the calm river waters allow paddlers to explore the city from the water, drifting past the Torre del Oro, the Triana neighbourhood and the Parque de María Luisa. Cycling along Seville's network of bike lanes, one of the most extensive in Spain, connects parks, riverbanks and access points to the greenways around the metropolitan area. For longer outings, the municipality is the gateway to MTB routes along the edge of Doñana National Park, with itineraries exceeding 70 km through pine forests and marshlands. Horse riding from the stables at La Cartuja and surrounding farms has a long tradition in the city. To the north, hiking routes through Los Alcores offer contrasting views of the Guadalquivir valley at a difficulty level accessible to most visitors.
