Detailed itinerary

The Guadalquivir is the fifth-longest river on the Iberian Peninsula and the second-longest river entirely in Spain. It is the only major navigable river in Spain. Currently, it is navigable from Seville to the Gulf of Cádiz, offering breathtaking views of the landscape and landmarks along its route. However, in Roman times, the river was navigable as far as Córdoba. Its historical and strategic significance is evident, reflecting its vital role in trade and connectivity throughout the centuries. Cruising along the Guadalquivir is a unique opportunity to explore the rich cultural and natural heritage of the region.

Triana, a vibrant and unpretentious neighborhood, centers around the Mercado de Triana, a bustling market hall near the Puente de Isabel II bridge. Here, food stalls and cozy eateries offer local delights like salmorejo soup, croquettes, and other tapas. Along the river, Calle Betis is lined with restaurants and bars, where you can enjoy live flamenco music in charming venues. The area is also known for its ceramic shops, clustered around the Centro de la Cerámica Triana, a museum dedicated to the art of pottery. Triana's lively atmosphere and rich cultural offerings make it a must-visit destination for experiencing the authentic spirit of Seville.

The Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla is one of the most iconic bullrings in the world, with a capacity of 12,000 spectators. Located in Seville, Spain, it hosts one of the most renowned bullfighting festivals during the annual Seville Fair. The bullring is part of the Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla, a noble guild established for traditional cavalry training.

The arena is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions and is certainly one of the most visited. Known for its challenging bullfighting environment, it is famous for its history, unique characteristics, and demanding audience, which is considered one of the most unforgiving in the bullfighting world. A visit to the Plaza de Toros offers an immersion into Seville's rich bullfighting tradition and culture.
