Rowing in Seville is a privilege

Seville is pure history, and in rowing too. There have already been several international competitions that have been held in the historic center of the city of Seville. And the Guadalquivir River has a 2,000-meter Olympic track, where the northern end of the river is blinded against wind and tide, making it an ideal environment for athletes to train without any major problems.

This fact makes the La Cartuja Special High Performance Center not only the scene of different competitions, but also many international teams that choose it to train and prepare for the different competitions throughout the year. Because another important detail that must be added is that the climate is very favorable and warm to practice rowing.
