This is a very nice walk, especially when you are accompanied by the sun. It's not very crowdy and you can sit down on the banks looking the tourist- and other boats sailing by.
In the late evening, do the walk on the opposite side of the river, in the Triana district. This way, you have splendid sunset-views of the Torre del Oro and the centre of Sevilla. Leave a Comment Directions: Banks of the Guadalquivir

 A tour-boat heads down-river
past the Torre by Bwana_Brown, 3 more photos
Because of our location, we would jump aboard half-way through and go in the reverse direction if we crossed the river at Torre del Oro, and then walked up the far shore about half-way to the next bridge downstream (Puente de Isabel II). This would take us past the Torre for a view of both it and the city from across the river before we turned away from the river to sample Sevilla's oldest church (Iglesia Santa Ana built in the 1200s) before returning to the main part of Sevilla again through a very old 'barrio'.
It sounded like a good idea, but after crossing to the far side, we found the shore lined with 'modern' glass & steel restaurants built for the masses and with little or no character. When we reached the area where we should detour further inland we found that the streets were torn up due to construction work taking place in this 'off-peak' time of the year - so did not even bother. Deciding to cut our losses, we looked up ahead to Puente del Isabel II where we would cross back to the main part of Sevilla. This had turned into another disaster, but at least we found a nice riverfront restaurant for lunch once we made the return crossing! The cold beer tasted good, as I fell back on my motto of "Don't sweat the small stuff"! Leave a Comment Directions: Banks of the Guadalquivir

 Puente de San Telmo by andal13
Otro puente sevillano es el Puente de San Telmo, un de los más antiguos y uno de los más transidados, dado que es la vía más directa para ir desde el centro hacia Triana u otros barrios. Es también el más próximo a la Torre del Oro. Leave a Comment Directions: Banks of the Guadalquivir

 Puente de Triana by andal13
Aquí pueden ver una perspectiva diferente del "Puente de Isabel II" (conocido también como "Puente de Triana"): desde abajo. A orillas del río, cerca de este puente, hay un parquecito en donde pueden dormir la siesta española bajo un árbol, o como hice yo, disfrutar una vista diferente de la ciudad.

Guadalquivir is the river that goes through Sevilla, and it is absolutely beautiful.

The Guadalquivir River or the El Rio Guadalquivir was originally name Betis by the Romans and then renamed wadi ak-kabir (Great River or Guadalquivir) by the Arabs. It separates the Triana district to the old town of Seville. Running for 657 kms, it is Spain’s 5th longest river. It is also the country’s only navigable river.

Take a break from the heat of the narrow streets of Santa Cruz and take to the river. The boat takes you along the Guadalquivir, turns around and comes back again. During the trip an audio commentary points out sights such as the Triana district on the west bank and the structures created for the '92 Expo but the main enjoyment comes from just gliding along the river. On our particular boat we had a trio of Russian football fans left over from the previous night's UEFA cup match for company. Despite the fact that Sevilla won the match against St.Petersburg comfortably they seemed in good spirits and the warm, sunny weather must have been some compensation for them.
Boats leave from the quay near the Torre del Oro roughly every half hour (but not precisely - this is Spain!) and the cost is 15 euro. Leave a Comment Directions: Banks of the Guadalquivir near the Torre del Oro
