Kayaking the Guadalquivir

Authored By:

Caroline Chessia

Our students had a beautiful morning to kayak the Guadalquivir (the river that runs through Sevilla, it´s name in ancient arabic means ¨big river¨).  We started off a bit rocky, with some students zigzagging across the river rather than kayaking in a straight line (we blame faulty engineering of the kayak, not lack of skill), but finished with smiles on our faces.  We saw the city from a different perspective and got some amazing views of the Torre del Oro (Golden Tower) and the neighborhood of Triana
